Peace for the Soul

A common space for harmonic peacemakers

The Flowering of Meditation

Meditation is not an Indian method;
it is not simply a technique. You cannot learn it.
It is a growth: a growth of your total living,
out of your total living.

Meditation is not something that can be added
to you as you are. It cannot be added to you; it
can only come to you through a basic transformation,
a mutation. It is a flowering, a growth.

Growth is always from the total; it is not an
addition. Just like love, it cannot be added to
you. It grows out of you, out of your totality.
You must grow toward meditation.


The Great Silence

Silence usually is understood to be something negativ, something empty, an absence of sound, of noises. This misunderstanding is prevalent because very few people have ever experienced silence.
All that they have experienced in the name of silence is noiselessness.
But silence is a totally different phenomenon. It is utterly positive. It is existential, it is not empty.
It is overflowing with a music that you have never heard before, with a fragrance that is unfamiliar to
you, with a light that can only be seen by the inner eyes.
It is not something fictitious; it is a reality, and a relity which is already present in everyone - we
just never look in.
Your inner world has its own taste, has its own fragrance, has its own light. And it is utterly silent,
immensely silent, eternally silent. There has never been any noise, and there will never be any noise.
No word can reach there, but
you can reach.
Your very center of being is the center of a cyclone. Whatever happens around it does not affect
it. It is eternal silence.
Days come and go, years come and go, ages come and pass. Lives come and go, but the eternal
silence of your being remains exactly the same - the same soundless music, the same fragrance of
godliness, the same transcendence from all that is mortal, from all that is momentary.
It is not
your silence.
You are it.
It is not something in your possession; you are possessed by it, and that's the greatness of it. Even you are not there, because even your presence will be a disturbance.
The silence is so profound that there is nobody, not even you. And this silence brings truth, and
love, and thousands of other blessings to you.
