The Silence Within - Understand Its Power

Everybody has the choice of experiencing the higher divine life. It is by choice that one experiences the peace, the abundance and happiness of higher life that is our birthright, when he practices making the mind quiet. Though difficult, it can be achieved even in a noisy place.

Thoughts are constantly invading the noisy mind. When they are blocked off by centering the quiet mind, that part of the mind which has the capacity to transform knowledge into usable concepts comes to the fore. And that forms the base of your creativity and successful life.

You must dive deep into the silence when those busy thoughts have receded. All the activity of the mind must become quiet and still. Then only you will experience silence. Meditation calms the mind and enables it to retrieve solutions to any problems. Just as the body needs exercise to retain the strength, so also the mind needs peace to calm down its unpredictable and never ending flow of thoughts and feelings. Meditation born silence helps us to bond with our core spirituality to find fulfillment and peace.

Thoughts are stimulated by curiosity of the mind. The mind is busy comprehending a new event all the time. Till full comprehension dawns upon it, it does not stop thinking. It becomes lively every time there is a new thought that enters the mind. That is its prime activity.

On the contrary, meditation is silencing the thoughts to experience deep and attain innermost guidance. The agitated mind becomes strained and searches relaxation in thinking. You have to be courageous to let go of your past and free yourself from the hurt which has given you a sense of character trapped in the past.

Silencing the mind also releases the future expectations and fears. One learns to live only in the present where one should be. It is then that one is able to release all attachments towards the outcome of one's own karma or actions. One becomes impervious to success and failure. He becomes free of all his negative baggage.

Meditation is a soothing exercise of the mind, relaxing the body and releasing the tensions. With practice, one is able to hold back the rushing thoughts in his mind and the mind then relaxes completely, to pave to way to higher realization of the self.

Regular meditation is conducive to increasing happiness, love, understanding, inner strength, tolerance and bravery. The ability to focus is honed so one's mind becomes concentrated and controlled. All negativity disappears, blaming others, finding fault with them, etc. stops. One becomes totally alive to the present peaceful moment. This is how enjoying the present moment is cultivated and all the negativity decreases.

There is no doubt that understanding and knowledge are in one's heart and thoughts are the way the mind searches for it. Restlessness is conquered by summoning peace. Peace leads to silence which elevates one to such a position that the mind becomes very creative and becomes extremely capable of finding solutions to all life's problems.

When one meets the Divine inside one's inner self, then silence is accomplished. The mind will feel the Divine contact as light, emotions as pure love and sensations as pure delight.

In deep meditation, one's spirituality transcends into divinity. It has two aspects, namely, force and consciousness. One's different sections feel all the good sensations of silence, love, power, light and delight. This elevated state of mind attracts all that is good and positive and enables the focused subconscious to set a goal for one's ultimate success.
