Sometime some sudden things happens and its leaves the impact which lasts forever in our LIFE.
1 day before , I was reading 1 novel “STILLNESS SPEAKS” by Eckhart Tolle.
Stillness means the inner space or awareness in which the words on this page are being perceived and become thoughts.
This book contains hardly 10 chapters and all were very philosphical. While reading I was enjoying n same time was getting bore too.
Bcoz so many big things were explained in this books but still there was something which makes me sit continuously and I finished it in an hour.
There were some lines in this book which says :
On the surface it seems that the present moment is only one of many , many moments.
Each day of your life appears to consist of thousands of moments where different things
happen. Yet , if you look more deeply , is there not only one moment , ever?
Is life ever not “this moment”? This one moment - NOW - is the only thing you can never escape from,the one constant factor in your life .
No matter what happens, no matter how much your life changes, one thing is certain:
it’s always “NOW”.
since here is no escape from the NOW , why not welcome it, become friendly with it?
The division of life into past, present and future is mind-made and ultimately illsory.
Past and Future are thought from mental abstractions.
The past can only be remebered NOW - Whether it is good or bad , make u feel happy or sad. We always try to be in some comnnection with our past BUT the recent moment is as it is always.
After reading this note : I was very calm and sitting silent alone for few seconds .
Thn I realized , Whenever Some silence around you - listen to it. That means just notice it.
I was trying to understand what I will get if i keep on thinking about my past or future as nothing in my hands but something in my hands.
I closed my eyes and open in few minutes n I realized I was in my dreams with so many questions .
And my questions being answered by the air which silently said something inside my ears ,
Trees started chasing me , SILENCE around me was just full of fruits - strange its very strange BUT true.
I was so happy as Nature teaches me the meaning of “NOW” .
I realized I am happy “NOW” and learnt to live with my NOW.
Whenever rain comes , Whatever be the situation or I am extremely busy with my work ,
I used to go out of my desk n enjoy it. Those 10-15 minutes of moment give me lot of “HAPPINESS” - This what I called - “MOMENT OF NOW”.
There is one saying which says :
“Listening to silence awakens the dimension of stillness withing yourself ,
because it is only through stillness that you can be aware of silence”.
Sometime in life it happens you want to say something but you find uself with shortage of WORDS , but your gestures says it ( your eyes filled with water , hand movement , heartbeat rate - answer SILENCE).
No one is alone as silence is always with us . We just need to understand it . Saying says :
“It is not your mistake if you cannot read the eyes which cheats you , but its really your mistake if you cannot read the eyes which loves you”.
Even my Gmail status says : ” SILENCE SPEAKS “
