What is the `silence' that you are after? Do you hear those trucks passing by on the road and the flushing of the toilet? Do you want to escape from all this and go and sit in the caves? There is noise inside you wherever you go.
What is this silence you are talking about? The silence operates there in the city market. When I am talking, it is the expression of the silence. You think there is no silence, when I am talking? You think there is silence when you close your eyes, sit in one corner and try to stop the flow of thoughts? You are just choked--that is not silence.
Go to the forest--that roar is the silence. Go to a sea--that is silence. Go right into the center of the desert--that is silence. A volcano erupting--that is silence. Not the silent mind trying to experience 'silence.' Silence is energy bursting."
I saw You
late last night
We walked the
beach in Silence
Not a word was spoken
We watched the
Sun douse it’s light
in the Ocean’s edge
We heard the waves
whisper sweet love
songs to the shore
Not a word was spoken
Even sea birds
sat silently still
We walked barefoot,
You left no footprints
in the sand at al
The sun had set but light
still shined everywhere
I asked You where
this light came from
You said not a word
yet lightly touched
my heart and smiled
Here is the home of
the Light of the World
I heard this in the
stillness of the Silence
within my heart of Hearts
Not a word was spoken
