Meditation is not a technique, nor is it exclusive to any culture or tradition. It cannot be learned in the traditional sense; rather, it is a profound transformation—a blossoming of your entire being. Meditation is not something external that can be added to who you already are. It arises from within, through a fundamental shift in your way of living. Like love, meditation is not an attachment but an organic growth from the depths of your total existence. To truly experience it, you must evolve into it; it cannot simply be acquired.
Silence, too, is often misunderstood. Many perceive it as mere emptiness, an absence of sound or noise. This is a common misconception, as few have truly encountered silence. What people often call silence is just noiselessness, a superficial calm. True silence, however, is a profound, positive presence. It is vibrant and alive, filled with a music that transcends ordinary hearing, a fragrance unlike anything familiar, and a light visible only to the inner eye. This silence is not an abstract idea but a reality already present within each of us. The problem is that we rarely turn inward to recognize it.
Within you lies a world that is rich with its own essence—its own taste, fragrance, and radiance. This inner world is eternally silent, untouched by the chaos of the external. It is a silence so deep that no noise has ever reached it, nor can it. Words falter in its presence, yet you can touch it, for it is the very core of your being. At your center exists a stillness as unshakable as the eye of a cyclone, unaffected by the whirlwinds of life. Days, years, and lifetimes may pass, but this silence remains unchanged. It is timeless, infinite, and sacred.
This silence is not merely yours; it is you. It is not something you possess, but something that possesses you. In its vastness, even the sense of “I” dissolves, for the presence of self would disturb its profound serenity. This silence is so absolute that it transcends individuality. And from this sacred stillness, all blessings flow—truth, love, and an infinite wealth of divine grace. It is in this silence that you discover not just peace, but the essence of your existence.
