silences....unspoken thoughts

Hm mm, so I am back after a very very long gap. I hope at least some people missed me (just kidding!!). So, welcome to Speak Ur Mind, break ke baad!!!

For all these days, there was a long silence...So, I thought why not write something on silence... We all come across silences...be it while praying or right during the last ball of an interesting match of cricket or when we are scared to death or when we are baffled or.... and the list would go on and on and on. In short, we all experiences silences in different ways, during different phases of life. But. have we ever cared to listen to what this silence says? OK, neither am I insane nor have I gone crazy. I just happened to experience several such silent phases in the past few days, wherein I could hear what the silence was speaking.

Its actually fascinating to try to hear the unspoken thoughts that our mind, our conscience is trying to speak to us. It actually provides us with an opportunity to connect to our soul. Ever imagined, why saints often used to go to mountain tops to meditate? Why lovers look into each others eyes a lot of times? Why our mom's understand all our thoughts by just looking into our eyes? Because, a lot of things are said and understood in these situations. It's not that somebody says them out loud, but somebody says them louder without even making a single noise. That, is the power of silence, the power of unspoken thoughts.

When you unexpectedly win a competition or a jackpot or top in any exam, you feel as if you have run short of words. Even when you aren't saying anything, people are still able to understand everything, all your emotions. Similarly, when you are angry with your best friend, the silence between the two of you conveys it all. When the love of your life proposes you for marriage, the silence makes the situation more enjoyable, it says everything, you both can feel each and every emotion that your hearts are experiencing. When you are feeling sad and gloomy, the silence around you gives you company, even if you don't realize its presence. When we look at something beautiful, we are so mesmerized by its beauty that we are unable to talk. We become silent, we feel ecstatic. When you are lost and confused, the silence around you gives you the strength and the space to think things through providing you with a sense of direction. People always say that they experience extreme happiness and contentment when they meditate. The reason being nothing else than the silence that envelopes us and shields us from all the shearing forces around us. We connect with our inner self and experience the presence of that one supreme being, the universal force that holds us together. This leads to the extreme happiness, contentment; we feel elevated and elated. Silences can be frightening as well. When we are walking through a desolated lane, at night; when all we can hear are our own footsteps, the silence becomes eerie and freaks us out. But, at the same point of time, we hear our heart beat, calming us down, and we foster the courage to face whatever comes in our way.

I feel its extremely important to experience silences....to listen to the unspoken thoughts of the universe, of our mind.....to understand who we are, what we are, and of course where are we heading? I shall sign out now leaving you all to experience SILENCE!!!!! Sshhhhhhhh!!!! Enjoy!!!!
