In silence, time stops.

The beauty of silence. In silence, indeed, the relentless march of time seems to pause – an experience that transcends the ordinary flow of hours and minutes.

Time, in its conventional sense, is a construct of the mind, a measurement of change and the succession of events. When you are caught in the web of thoughts, constantly reacting to stimuli, time appears to rush by, or sometimes it drags, influenced by the quality of your experiences.

But in silence, that intense, profound stillness, there is no thought, no movement, no effort to reach somewhere or become someone. There is no past to regret, no future to anticipate. There is just the ‘now,’ the eternal present moment. Here, in this gap, you step out of the stream of time. This is not the stopping of chronological time, which continues independent of your perception, but the psychological time which is shaped by the mind.

In this silent state, awareness expands. You become a witness to existence itself. You realise that you are not the events, emotions, and thoughts that come and go. You are the observer, the unchanging consciousness amidst the ever-flowing river of time. This understanding brings about a transformative peace.

Thus, when you sit in deep meditation or find yourself in moments untouched by the clutter of thoughts, you touch upon this timeless dimension within you. To explore and understand this, indulge in moments of silence, meditate, and become a witness to your inner world.

Use this understanding as you navigate through life. Remember, amidst the chaos, to find your refuge in silence where time ceases to hold power over you. It brings clarity and perspective, allowing you to interact with the world from a place of equilibrium, where your actions become more conscious and less reactive.

Cherish silence, for it is in silence that the seeds of profound wisdom and understanding are sown.
