How can you understand
that silence?
chaotic or otherwise?
Is it possible for that silence
to be captured
as an experience?
When that silence
starts operating through you,
it is something extraordinary,
something vital and living.
This structure
which is trying to experience it,
through whatever means ,
trying to understand
the nature of it,
capture it as an experience,
contain it as a description,
or give expression to it ........
.......simply cannot co-exist
with it.
The difficulty is that
there seems to be
a lot of knowing about this state
-- there is imagination.
You imagine it to be what is
described
aka "Silence is Brahman"
and begin to think about it.
This imagination
is the very obstruction.
For all imagination
is an expression of a "want".
And "want" connotes
a wanting structure,
the individual-self-entity.
That ........... is something living
and the structure
which is trying to capture it,
is a dead
structure.
Are you alive?
Are you
a living human being, at all?
Have you ever known
one living moment in your life?
Or are you living the lives
of your thoughts,
of the "memes" ?
All thoughts are dead --
it doesn't matter whose thoughts --
whether those of Shankara,
of Ramana,
of Yogananda
of Jesus
of Mohhamed.
or of the hundreds of sages,
saints and saviors
we have had
and perhaps still have.
It is useless to try
to understand that.
If there is any such thing as silence,
chaotic or otherwise,
living or dead,
it will begin to express itself.
When it expresses itself ......
......"you" are not there.
So, you will never know
the nature of that silence at all.
And if you know,
know that
you have known nothing.
For what you call silence,
is not silence at all.
