It is in silence that we get all our power to live life as a soul with love, humility, compassion, kindness, and truth ― and find our very own joy and bliss, says DR PUSHPA CHATURVEDI
Modern life is full of noise. Until we step into the silent meadows and green valleys of our heart, and introspect with awareness, a part of our life will always be empty. As we lie in the vulnerable arms of our humdrum life, contemplating, we suddenly realize that this empty space of silence unfolding within is helping us to find peace.
Silence carries us to our innermost sanctuary within our heart. An empty space within which is ingrained our humanity, it is our soul space calling us to find our own personal inner meaning of life.
Making friends with this empty part of the self, one can find vastness of tranquility. It’s in this silence that we find the steps within to surrender and accept everything that is in the present. The power of this silence is such that we stop fighting with our thoughts and allow them to come and go without losing calm and peace.
Sometimes one is forced to be silent; then one finds other ways to communicate. Thoughts are decluttered, energy is channelised and responses become clear, short and simple. Silence gives us the clarity we need to calmly face challenges and uncertainty.
It is in silence that we get all our power, step by step to come home to our inner asylum, because in silence only we can understand and contemplate on the steps to realization, to live life as a soul with love, humility, compassion, kindness, and truth ― and find our very own joy and bliss.
I am sharing my poetic thoughts on the inner Silent Satsang:
Words have no place here
Silence rules to endear
Nothing to be said anymore
A bliss filled vacuum to explore
To be silent and contemplate
To concentrate and meditate
Time to look deep within
To feel my true self under the skin
A gratifying current passes through
I look at Who I Am anew
A pleasant sensation of soul kiss
Passing thoughts witnessed in bliss
The worldly play was my creation
You guided me in each situation
Won sometimes and lost sometimes
Illusions of restless mind at times
One by one I leave all
Nothing here is mine to call
It’s only my inside that I recall
What is sprouting in me
Is mysteriously dissolving in me
Beginning and end both have merged
It’s a new me that has emerged
This journey leads to a peaceful road
Silence has washed away heavy loads
Love is overflowing around
Silence gives it a sweet sound
Humility shines like the silent night stars
Compassion grows slowly within the heart
Feeling free waiting for liberation
I am the eternal witness of creation
Who cares now for life or death
Nothing more to be done till the last breath
Nothing to give or take anymore
Drowned in ecstasy of the silent glow
Words have no place here
Silence rules to endear
Nothing to be said any more
A bliss filled vacuum to explore
Sat-Chit-Ananda

Wonderful.
Beautifully written Pushpa jee! Poetry is amazing.
Silence is consciousness.
Silence is the source of existence.
Silence is the origin of sound, power, light. From silence rise all virtues, and this ecstatic universe.
Everything rises and subsides in the ocean of silence.
