Fall in Love With Silence

Today, we are living in the age of technology which is full of distractions. Our days are filled with the noises of tv, music, radio and all the external noises around us. And social media has become a major source of distraction for our mind. All these things occupy our external world. And even when there is no noise around, the noise in our mind constantly keeps popping up. The mental chatter always continues. Just think for a moment, how much time do you spend in complete silence. The answer might be not at all or hardly few minutes.

We have forgot the importance of silence in our life. And that is the primary reason for why our lives have become stressful and full of anxiety. We have lost our touch with silence. Today many people are living on the anti-depressants and many other people experience sleep deprivation because of stress in the daily life. Some people use the external distractions like tv or music or even drugs for a temporary relief. These are all the temporary solutions. In fact, people are using distractions and drugs to get rid of their life situations and to relax their minds. It helps for some time, but again you are drawn back into the same issues of life. So, instead of looking for the solutions in your outer world, you should look for the solution within.

Silence can provide you with the solutions for all your problems which you can’t find in your noisy outer world. It helps you connect directly with the divine source of creation. It helps you explore the world of infinite possibilities. Silence will propel your spiritual growth. Silence reveals the answers to life’s problems. It provides you the insights that can give your life a new direction. It helps you discover your soul’s inner calling which is the purpose of your life. As Rumi quoted,

Silence is the language of God. All else is poor translation.

Silence is also a great tool which offers many benefits in our physical world. Today, there are many researches going on around the world to explore and understand the benefits of silence. Silence helps us in many ways in our life. It reduces the stress and gives break to our nervous system. It provides a sense of calm and peace to our mind. You will naturally become more aware and more present in your daily life. It increases our focus which can eventually increase our productivity. It enhances our creativity by giving us new ideas and insights. Lao Tzu once said,

Silence is the source of great strength.

Make a conscious choice to put aside all your gadgets and all your work and sit in silence at least for a few minutes each day. It will relax your mind and you can see there are profound changes in your life. Gradually you will fall in love with silence. Silence is the only place where you will be able to find the solutions to life’s unsolved problems. Silence will never disappoint you. Silence will reconnect you to your soul. Silence is your being. Silence is God. Silence is divine. Silence is eternal.
