When a poem recitation is over, there is pin drop silence as we try to
imbibe the meaning of the word and its import even though the poem is
over, moments of quite introspection that can create mental images,
float in our minds even in the absence of words which are always crammed
with noise. Words can never keep track of the profusion of silent
thoughts that populate our creative minds- in many instances a lot of
things are left unsaid .It is the silence between our thoughts through
which we can access our highest creativity- a sort of music to our
ears, our deepest intuitions and our most profound joys.
When
we grieve deeply or are moved intensely, we find ourselves bereft of
words, this silence of wailing noises is not due to the absence of
sound, but due to the interpretive
feeling and the presence of a powerful and profound meaning. Sometimes
when the bonds are strong between friends, family or lovers we can
convey wordless messages without the jarring sound of language. Hermits,
sages also seek the solitude of nature in the mountains/ deserts or
caves to cut off chatter and focus or meditate, silence represents
oneness.
By transcending into silence we can dissolve stress
and tension – a pause that refreshes and nourishes our silent source or
soul within. Some narratives in our lives are more poignant in their
silences- than the loud high pitched wailing of grief and pain. Often
victims of sexual violence and abuse shun word as they skip over a vast
expanse of pain and unspoken truths, which we have relegated to the
domain of silence and invisibility. Their anguish and memories bleed
copiously into the silences of their narrative as their reticence
escapes the most salient aspect of the deeply agonizing violence.
Even in quantum physics there is a non-physical filed of energy/
residing in a state of entropy or vacuum. This inner field of life is
called as the field of consciousness in the Vedas and through quiet and
tranquil contemplation one can connect to the innermost core of
intelligence. Like the silent night when you sit in mediation one, mind
becomes so silent that our own intelligence in then revealed to us.
