Silence

Let’s talk of SILENCE. (Laughter) Let us understand first, what is silence. For that, I wish you to be quiet for 2 minutes. My son (Sohrab), will you time the 2 minutes? Yes, be quiet for 2 minutes.

(The sitters did as they were told)

You can stop; not even 2 minutes and how loud you all were, how very loud (referring to the inner thoughts). It was very amusing to hear some of you. You were ‘quiet’, not silent. Silence does not exist in quietude. It exists in a place, deep within you, where you hide away, secretly, your deepest fear, your greatest joy; they co-exist in the same deep secret place where no one, but you, has access.

Quiet means ‘lack of external sound’. Silence is ‘the joy of hearing aloud the shout of ecstasy of the I AM Presence.’ Quite different from what you thought silence was all about. You can be shouting aloud, talking and laughing and still have complete SILENCE within, where from this deep, deep silent space shouts the joyous ecstasy, “I AM. I AM. I AM.” And you may be completely quiet, as you were, and have a loud conversation with yourself inside of all the illusions you are surrounded by. “How hot it is!” “Are you sure 2 minutes are not over yet?” “Let me try and have no thoughts… but when is my friend coming? She had promised to come half an hour ago?” (Laughter)  So many different, different thoughts.

Don’t be quiet, be silent. It is in silence that you understand what this one (Ell) spoke off before: true honour. It is in silence that you understand that, not in quietude. Maintain just 3 short seconds of silence where you permit your innermost joy to shout loudly, “I AM” and then open your eyes and see what you find around you. Did you feel the ecstasy? It is not the same as being quiet, is it? The ecstasy doesn’t calm you, it exhilarates you; it excites you, thrills you. It is not soothing, not comforting, not serene. It adds to your energy, a thrill, a pulse, verve; that which wants you to get up and start moving.

And yet, in your world, both need to be experienced. You need to be quiet to calm the ruffled edges of your energy field; quietude does that. It helps you to get tranquil again. In that tranquility, lies the environment that is set for SILENCE because it adds joy and excitement and anticipation to life. I AM…. and never, never define or limit I AM. Do not say “I AM joy”. Do not say, “I AM love”. You only put an obstacle to being ALL; just shout, “I AM”; then there is INFINITY that you can touch.

And when you can hear the I AM shout, the thrill that you will find will be like fresh new blood pulsing through your veins and you will know just what you need to do, what you need to be, in an illusory moment of time, what you need to say and what needs to be done. That knowledge can come only from Silence, not quietude.

My beautiful one (Aneeta), when you now teach, let them learn that they can go beyond quiet to the shout of silence. Let them experience the inner shout, the inner sound that is so loud that it drowns out all external sound and just shouts out, “I AM”. Teach them to access that place and you will not need to teach them anything else.

If, for even brief moments a day, you can experience the shout of this silence, you will know what you need to do throughout that day. Yes, of course you need to be quiet sometimes, to let the conscious mind settle down because the conscious mind is like a 3 year old child, constantly hopping from one foot to the other, wanting the mother to get up and dance with it. And it’s wonderful to dance with the conscious mind but sometimes the 3 year old has to be held by the mother who rocks it into tranquility. And that is the job of being quiet. But when the 3 year old awakes, after having been rocked into tranquility and hears the soft sound of its mother in its ears, “Wake up, my beautiful one” there is a joy of ecstasy deep within its heart that says, “I AM my mother”. And aren’t you your own mother, your own creator? All that the Divine has created is what you are. So hop away on one foot for large times of the day; rock yourself to sleep by being quiet and then whisper loudly, “I AM”.
