Guest guest Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 MUSIC OF SILENCE Hear the music of the meeting of the soul with soul It is the divine music, thrilling and soulstirring. It is the music that gives rapturous ecstasy. The light of this music illumines the world. It is the source of all vocal music, It is the source of all musical instruments, It is the music of that supreme silence, It is the music of the flute of Sri Krishna, It is the music that delights Radha, It is the music without stringing and playing, It is the music of the sahasrara (thousandpetal led) lotus. Sivananda says: " Listen to me, brother, There are only a few Who have heard this music of silence " . THYSELF KNOWEST THYSELF We cannot know thy nature. Thou alone knowest what thou art, Thyself knowest Thyself, by Thyself. The mind cannot reach Thee What can poor understanding know? Speech cannot reach so far, The power of thought fails. Thou art not a mental concept, You cannot be confined Within the walls of the mind Thou art infinite. Ascetics practise pancagni tapas ( " fivefire austerity " ), Hatha yogis stop their breath Ana practise tratak (gazing). By devotion alone You can be known in essence. Only a few blessed ones Have realized Thee, Only through thy grace. ---So says Sivananda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
