Have you ever noticed that from the time we open our eyes in the morning till we sleep at night, we remain trapped in a web of words? We search for the meaning of everything and there is some purpose in every work, but in this rush we lose the real joy of life. Spiritual guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar says that the day you start feeling that words are limited and incomplete, understand that your life is moving towards depth.
Often we are afraid of silence And try to fill it with words, whereas real communication is possible only from the heart and in silence. Be it love, beauty or God – their true experience can be found only after going beyond words. In this article, know the thoughts of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, which will take you out of the maze of worries and will bring you face to face with ‘yourself’ and will tell you why sometimes not understanding each other’s language can prove to be a boon for relationships.
When words become limited then life becomes deeper.
When we start feeling that words are limited, incomplete, then we should understand that our life is moving towards depth. Then we really start living. From morning to night we live in words – everything needs meaning, every action should be purposeful. In the race for this objective, we lose the real purpose of life. In this constant search for purpose, we lose the real purpose of life. Like a rabbit jumping towards the carrot hanging in front – close yet far away. Words trouble us even at night. They take away our deep sleep. Many people keep talking even in sleep. As if there is no salvation from words. Words are also the root cause of worry. Can you worry without words? Try worrying for ten minutes, but do not use a single word – this is not possible! Our friendship is also based on words. Someone says, “You are so wonderful, beautiful, and kind,” and we fall in love. If someone says abusive words, we get hurt and angry. But praise and insult are both words. If life is based on words, it is very superficial. Love, true gratitude, true beauty and true friendship, these experiences cannot be expressed in words.
Life gains depth when words become inadequate.
Have you ever sat in complete silence with a loved one? Often we fill that silence with words. We go on picnics, see beautiful places, but instead of enjoying them we keep talking. If there are four people in the car, all four speak together. No one listens to anyone. Everyone waits for their turn. We have filled our minds with noise. The greater the disturbance within, the louder the music outside sounds, because it covers up the noise within. It’s easy to get lost in music, it provides momentary relief. But as consciousness becomes subtle and relaxed, we become more sensitive to sound. Today we have become almost insensitive to noise. When there is silence within, the songs of the birds and the pauses between their songs also sound sweet. They sing in rhythm without any instrument. If we go inside a little, we will find that divine music is playing in our body too, but we are unaware of it. The day we realize that words are inadequate, life becomes deeper. What do we need from friends – their words or their presence? It can also be enjoyed just by sitting together in silence. Appearance speaks for itself.
you are love itself
There are many seminars on love. But is love really there in life? A woman from Los Angeles ran workshops on love, but she had been divorced three times. I told her, “Sit with yourself, meditate, go into silence and feel that you yourself are love. When you go beyond words, love appears.” When we ourselves become love, it spreads to others. Beauty also has a similar effect. Seeing him, a fountain of energy bursts within. But we want to make it ours. As we try to find it, another search begins, an endless mirage. And once you find it, its attraction diminishes. Beauty does not need to be achieved, it needs to be worshiped and dedicated. We do not want to bind the one to whom we are dedicated. We have often seen God as an old man, but God is always young. For me, God is very playful and fun-loving. This entire creation is a divine game. Our worries are also part of the same game. Life is a celebration. Spirituality does not mean a serious face. The true experience of beauty is revealed only in silence. To keep the source of love within us alive, we have to go deep within ourselves.
beauty leads us to god
There was a German young man who could not keep up with any of his girlfriends. He spoke a lot – he asked questions and gave answers himself. Nobody wanted to listen to him. He met an Italian girl at an ‘Art of Living’ program. Neither the girl knew German nor the young man knew Italian. Both of them got married and are still together today. I told them, “Don’t learn each other’s language, you will be fine like this.” Whenever something had to be said, one had to consult the dictionary. It took time, but the relationship provided breathing space. We can communicate deeply even in silence. Communication is possible through the heart also. If we do not live the silence within us, we remain deprived of many beauties of life. Look at the sky for ten minutes every day. Look at the stars. Look at the rose, but don’t compare. Just feel that it is there and it is beautiful. Beauty leads us to God, leads us to gratitude. When a feeling of gratitude arises within after seeing beauty, then surrender has taken place and from there love is born.
