Silence holds the Truth

Silence isthe repository of all Knowledge, Truth and Bliss- jnyanam, satyam and anandam. A person who has perfected the art of maintaining silence under all situations, adverse or favorable, becomes a sage, 'muni'. However, this has a rider, a clause that says, "all cannot be sages and only knowledgeable persons (jnyani), wise ones (viveki), and a renunciates (sanyasi) who has no desire in worldly sensuous life only can become a muni.!" A person who knows the 'truth' will not speak for he knows the principle: na bhruyat satyam apriyam, meaning, truth that hurts others should not be spoken! The enlightened Buddha did not speak when people asked him about God. He did not reply because he thought these innocent people would go in search of the impossible if he says 'yes' and would be disappointed if he says 'no'. The question of God is not something that could be answered by somebody else, but to be realized by oneself, knowing one's Self'.  

   Silence is the basis of all that exists. Everything has its source in silence. The first emanate from silence as a buble with a center, bindu, creates vibration, nada or svara. Thus the universe ensues from this center and everything vibrates around it like the electrons and protons circling around a nucleus. The universe  has a core, its center (soul), and its periphery; this outer limit is surprisingly so far, unimaginably far, far away extending over trillions of Light Years! But what fills it is dark space with Energy and light particle floating in it!It is this 'light' that is very important here.

   Now as regards the 'Energy' aspect of the universe, it must be understood that the entire universe is nothing but  energy- potential brahmn, and the kinetic universe, prakruti. The mahat or bruhat is brahmn, and 'kinchit' or condensed form is the individualized consciousness. One is a vast ocean and the other a drop of it! This is also a process of condensation. Finally everything dissipates! This is explained in Shaivagama as Shiva-jiva continuum. Jagat is a vibrant form of jiva's conscious outward awareness and Shiva is the same inward self-conscious state.

   Thus, everything is chit, Consciousness, Knowledge, and Existence.
