For the first time the unborn baby makes move in the womb, the mother hears the sound and she is elated, the infant loves the warmth of the mother and the music it hears…yes music that is the heart beat of the best creation on earth.... Mother… ever wondered why the mother carries the baby more on the left side than the right side just because the child recognizes the heart beat and feels safe in her arms…
The mother and child talk to each other by the heart beats the mother murmurs the sweet songs and jingles so that the baby feels happy and feels safe… this is the beauty of silence which we first encounter in our lives….. but as we grow this silence takes varied forms, the sweet silence only is visible when we sleep, such that when a baby is sleeping we never miss a chance to say “how sweetly or innocently or how silently the baby is sleeping”…..Well that's one of the best part silence has….
But as our lives moves ahead and races with the load of responsibilities surmounted with the tension and stress we are in deep desire of this silence that can make us spiritually and mentally overwhelmed…but do we really get the silence? There is a very famous quote that reads “Every body hurts and everybody cries…sometime”.
How true!!! This is can only be measured by a person who knows how to cry their heart out…..still always remember, everybody cries sometime…
Remember the time when we are hurt by the deeds of our near and dear ones, or by the person who is really special to us and has made the whole life a real canvas with the shades of the rainbow…how does it feel then… there can be countless words to express this “devastated, deserted, heart robbed, heart broken dead weak….so on and so forth” But as we are in this pain and agony what remains with us is the silence which acts as antidote and the time acts as the healer…..lets concentrate more on the antidote “Silence” ….a valid question crosses the mind why silence? Why not time?
Silence gives us the real space and acts as the mirror so that we can talk to ourselves and console the real pain and make ourselves stronger to take on the emotional rage….
I asked myself what it is with silence that I like more. The answer came almost instantly the love of being me!!! How is that possible??
It is when I am all alone silence makes me talk to God and devil both they enrich me with there brilliant plans to take on the world… God tells me come whatever may son don’t give up hope… this is a test and if you pass it I will carry you in my arms and fill your life with the jewels that the world has nerve seen...emotions, caring and love. On the other hand the devil tells me his share of the story … he tells me to repell, give back more pain to the person than what I have faced because of him/her…why should I suffer I will make others suffer and counter attack strategies and what not…
But the real catch is that silence allows us to hear all this and reminds us of our core strengths and lets us choose the side that can bring peace to our life or can make our life more miserable….
Silence remains as the companion in our grief’s and sorrows and brings out a new dimension for our thinking and understanding which is termed as maturity or stupidity depending on the side we choose…
Silence is such an important ingredient in our life that we just don’t realize the true value that it has…ask a student what silence means to him while he is studying, as a librarian why silence is required at the library when we have so much knowledge to speak for itself, ask a priest why he meditates in silence, ask lovers why they enjoy silence when they are together….the answer are tough to understand and digest…..yet they are serene!!!
Silence has its own language which is not understood by all , this is a language that is holy and is pure this is the companion which embraces you once you are done with life and this is the only medium that makes you talk to yourself and in turns lets you talk to God……
Try to hear your heart beat and the first thing you require is silence and once you hear your heart beat you find there are so many questions that are unanswered and there is so much that needs to be done…
Try to hear the sound of silence and trust your heart… coz the sound that touches your heart most is the sound of silence… when you cry the silence listens to you and make you weep till the point you realize the value of your own emotions and the worth of tears….its silence that respects your anger and calms it down, its silence that brings a pleasant smile on your face. When you think of a special person, it is silence that makes you take the best decisions of your life….
The value of silence can be understood only when we don’t fear silence and it’s a fact that people are actually afraid of silence….. but what we don’t realize that we are fearing a companion who was with us since birth and walked all the way with us while we ignored it, stamping it as silly emotion but the fact remains intact, that silence really awaits us to unite with us once we perish to our afterlife…
After all what remains is silence and that is where people remeber us when we are gone...
