The silence has power. You can feel it when become silent for long periods of time. Those silent retreats take you to a new world where there is no one but your self. When you take time to be silent you become more clear. Your mind becomes crystal clear like clear water in a pond with no ripples. But what it really means to be silent. It is comparatively easy to remain silent externally but have we ever thought about the internal noise we experiance. We are constantly chattering with ourselves. We carry a parallel universe with in us which is a tumultuous as the one we experience outside.

The real power of silence is to be able to look in to the world with equanimity. As you become more and more silent you become more and more stable. You somehow start to sense that universe is living entity. You live in a living universe. You begin to sense its intelligence that it has bestowed onto every thing living or inanimate. The whole comes alive as if illuminated with a bright light. You get a new perspective each moment and day. As Deepak Chopra says "You become a still point around which the whole world revolves".

For centuries many teachers have eulogized the virtues of silence. The secret is to be as muh silent as you can. Then words that come out are the words from your real self or to be more precise the universe itself begins to express itself through you. No matter how successful we are , we all sense a ned to go somewhere without realizing that it is the disturbance in our real self. The real self wants to express itself. What is the reasong behind the success of the books like The Secret, The Seven spiritual laws of success. The reason is that we all sense a spiritual longing that wants to be satisfied. This longing is very powerful. More powerful than sexuality but less obvious.

When you accept the silence your being , you feel more and more powerful. Your thoughts become powerful. You sense a sense of fullness. You become original and begin to express your uniqueness. So take time to be silent and that silence will summon your dreams from the universe.
