...is the divine's workshop
We have always heard this proverb, "An idle mind is a devil's workshop." I put a couple of other titles on this posts and erased them all to write about the Silent Mind where the divine settles down to do its work through our body and mind.
Though remaining idle and remaining silent seem apparently the same, there is a vast space of difference between the two states of being. An idling engine is switched on, neither taking off, nor switching off. It is noisily asserting its little self, to no avail.
In a silent mind, there are no thoughts fluttering here and there. There Saraswati will express as wisdom, technological and artistic capabilities. When she takes a break, Lakshmi will express as the eternal giver of wealth, love and happiness. Parvathi or Shakthi also sends forth her power to fulfill the desires.
But in the beginning it is Silence. Through the process it is Silence and at the end of it all too it is Silence. Silence is The Way.

Silence is neither the way nor the destination. Theres no way to the Truth. It is a wayless spaceless endless presence of the Eternal Now...But surely the glimpses of silence in meditation appears to pave the way as if towards an apparent destination. The journey
which is never a journey appears to go on but remains and eventually
as though ends but never does...
- Do you hear that falling rain?-
Yes I do hear that falling rain claps of thunder. Yesterday night, the thunder was the loudest in Chennai. Now I know why!
No Destination Yet we make the journey. No Goal yet we seek it.
Why the effort ?
when you are the journey
Why the goal
When you are the goal
Why perceive when you are the perceived
Why?!!
You are What you are
Ganesh: I agree these questions are there. But when you are standing on the ground surrounded by walls, there is something obstructing you. But if you rise above the same room and look from a sky, everything is free. The obstruction is still there at the same place on the ground, but from space nothing obstructs. To be able to see the space when on ground, the space through the obstructions is the whole idea behind our pursuits of meditation.
Space through matter
Sound through silence
Inaction through action
Consciousness through everything
They don't exist side by side, but are one - Purnamadah Purnamidam....
Have you heard the sound of silence ... ?
Yes you have.. but it has not been clear!
*nanyaar: On and of, yes, I've been hearing.
