Sshhhh...

my experience with silence...

if you know what bliss is, you would know how i felt during my Silence(maun vrat).

To think of it, we actually love talking and making conversations and somehow we spend hours doing just that...! i never realized, not talking could deliver this amount of energy. "urja", as Rishiji said, is right inside you, its we who don't realise it and spend it all in unnecessary things like eating more than we need, talking more than required, etc.

two days in rishiji's guidance, i experienced silence and stillness in the most literal way possible. the days went by in complete yoga, exercises, sevas, delightfully simple food, satsang, singing bhajanas.. awesome!

when he finally broke the silence, i didn't feel like talking much, i didn't want to let go off the peace i was experiencing due to not talking... a strange kind of stillness, something inside me is just so calm that even though life is full, its feels like a lot of space. smiling is so much more easy that people in the "normal" world could write me off as insane..

and to suffice it the best.. my friend sukriti asked the most appropriate question after my silence was broken,"were you happy that it ended or were you regretful?"
