Guest guest Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Language is only a medium for communicating one’s thoughts to another. It is called in only after thoughts arise; other thoughts arise after the ‘I-thought’ rises; the ‘I-thought’ is the root of all conversation. When one remains without thinking one understands another by means of the universal language of silence. Silence is ever-speaking; it is a perennial flow of language; it is interrupted by speaking. These words obstruct that mute language. There is electricity flowing in a wire. With resistance to its passage, it glows as a lamp or revolves as a fan. In the wire it remains as electric energy. Similarly also, silence is the eternal flow of language, obstructed by words. What one fails to know by conversation extending to several years can be known in a trice in Silence, or in front of Silence - e.g., Dakshinamurti, and his four disciples. That is the highest and most effective language. From Talks with Sri Ramana Maharishi - Talk 246 What a powerful message from Bhagavan ! How often we get carried away by our obsession with words ! EGO loves words ..it thrives on words for survival.. LOVE needs no words. It thrives on silent acceptance and understanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 From silence came thought, from thought the ego, and from ego speech. So, if speech is effective, how much more so must be its source? - Ramana Maharshi On Thu, Jun 11, 2009 at 8:20 AM, ramesh chivukula <ramesh_chiv wrote: Language is only a medium for communicating one’s thoughts to another.

If we think,we always think that which is gone, or that which has not come yet.Thinking has no present tense, the moment you think you are lost.To be in the present is to be religious and if we want to be in the present we must be aware, and awareness is always silent.Silence is nonvibratory consciousness and thinking is vibratory consciousness.Vibration interrupts that which is still,nonvibratory.Bhagawan says that in the contast of vibration,stillness of silent Pure conscious being is recognised. , ramesh chivukula <ramesh_chiv wrote: > > Language is only a medium for communicating one’s thoughts to > another.
