Words from the Master

Now your mind will start asking, “How can I stop this inner chatter and thoughts? How can I experience real silence?” This thought will start haunting you and it will become one more worry!

See, try to understand: You can never stop the thinking. The thought that you have to stop your thinking itself is another thought! If you forcibly try to be silent for a second, that silence is not the silence we want to achieve, it is just a forced and dead silence. The silence that we want to achieve is a vibrating and blissful silence - the silence of Existence.

So what is it that needs to be done? Simply watch the mind, that’s all. Be an observer. Don’t pass any judgments; don’t resist any thoughts. Watch it with the deep gratitude that it is God’s gift to you. This is the first step towards inner silence.

Your awareness will slowly grow and make you centered in yourself and increase the silence in you. When I say increase the silence, I mean, your inner chatter will reduce and you will be more of a watcher. With that increased silence, there will be more awareness in you and this will become a cyclic process in you.

With this awareness, you will be able to enjoy the beauty that surrounds you. It is not that the beauty came in suddenly; it was always there! But you were not aware of it. You were too busy within yourself and so you failed to see it. Now with your awareness, you will be able to celebrate it! Suddenly, Nature will start revealing itself to you in its entire splendor. Your inner self will transform, and when this happens, the outer world transforms automatically!

When you learn to be in awareness, you can use your mind at your discretion. It becomes a vital tool at your disposal. You can use it just when you want to. From being a dangerous enemy, it becomes a reliable friend.
