Guest guest Posted December 3, 1999 Report Share Posted December 3, 1999 Silence is the Answer Every cloud has a silver lining. The positive part of the I AM That belief system is enquiry. This is what saves it from irrelevance. Enquiry is authentic search for truth. When you ask: Where do I come from? The mind tries to answer. Soon it realises the futility and gives up. In this giving up there is a gap of silence. Silence is the answer. Truth is ONLY known herenow in silence. Any slight thought of I AM That and you are back in concepts, the booby prize. Silence is the source of your mind. When you turn the mind away from its usual habit of indulging in content and allow it to return to its source, the miracle happens. This is Poonjaji’s great contribution to consciousness. He perfected the method and taught many disciples who now teach it to others. His method invites you to leave your toys, the content of your mind and turn back towards its source. Silence. As long as you stay with the gap of silence, you have a taste of freedom. A taste is not permanent but it wets your appetite and shows you the door to freedom. Any moment you can open the door and taste freedom. This is the most potent technique for awakening. When diligently applied it brings rapid results. Just the belief I AM That needs to be changed to the experiential, I AM This. This is herenow. That is somewhere else. This your direct experience. That is a belief. In silence This and That disappear, they are both concepts. You are not, silence is. No need to settle for cheap beliefs about truth, you deserve the real thing. Enquiry is the way for everyone to come home fast. You are not what you think. Be silent and KNOW. from: the New Dawn www.ishwara,com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
