Silence is Golden

This morning while thinking of a lot many things, travelling in train from Kolkata to Raipur, It just came into my mind after a sms I received from my friend Maaruti saying that Silence is louder than words, and if anyone can understand your silence, then he/she will never misunderstand your words....

Silence......

Silence is the time when we speak to God, when we pray with all our heart for someone we love and for ourselves…..

Silence is the time when you lie on your mother’s lap & your child lies on your lap and both speak nothing but feel the abundant love with one another…..

Silence can be the time when you dream in sleep and also when you wake up and and still feel the pain and the pleasure according to the dream, if it were frightening or beautiful…..

Silence is also the time when you visualize something you are determined to achieve and your mind plans the route to your destination…..

Silence is the time when you spend intimate moments with the one you love…..

Silence is the time when you have won victoriously or lost badly, and are extremely happy or sad….

Silence is inside you when in a journey amidst the sound of wheels and people around and you are thinking deeply….

Silence is when you sit on the terrace and gaze at the moon and stars hearing mild music…..

Silence can be the time when you want to be quiet, out of the world’s chaos and confusions…..

Silence can be the time when you want to be with yourself….

Silence can be the time when you do not want to argue with someone you love not because he or she is right and you are wrong, but because you love that person so much that you simply do not want to speak anything that would hurt that person, and you prefer to be silent….

Silence can also be the time when you are wrong and you know that you have made a mistake and you do not have words to explain, what made you wrong or why you made a mistake, may be because you are deeply regretful of may be because you are unable to understand yourself, how you did something so wrong….

Silence can be the time when you don’t have words to console someone in grief and still you want to tell that person that I am there, without saying anything but simply being silent and being with the person…..

Silence can be time when you want to avoid someone also, when you are least interested to say something to someone and you simply want to ignore them….

Silence can be the time when you are in love and you get to spend some time with your loved one and it feels like the most beautiful moment in the world and you want to hold time, or you want to simply feel the unspoken words and untouched feelings….

Silence can be when some senior person, whom you respect is scolding you and you cannot say anything out of respect or may be out of fear…..

Silence can be when you are sitting beside a water resource, a lake, sea, river, valley, or close to nature, and you want to hear the sound of the waves and the silence of the lake, the chirping of the birds, the moving fishes, or it could be anything which makes you feel awe and wonder about the beauty of mother nature…..

It can go on and on and on, one experiences so many different types of silent moments, in a crowd, inside you, outside you when you speak and others listen, so many different forms of Silence which I have felt and observed, but the best form of Silence which I have noticed and want to learn is………

Being silent when someone wants you to understand, when someone wants you to listen, when someone expects you to do something which you do not want to do, when someone wants you to accept something without asking for any reason, when someone knows that you are always there, and you know that the other person will be there, despite the Silence between you both, when someone respects, loves and cares so much that whether you speak or no, still you are so comfortable, because Silence speaks louder than words and a person who understands your silence will never misunderstand your words, where words, would no more matter, feelings would be understood.

I always believed in expressing all my feelings openly, but I realized with time that we need to learn to be silent and express without words…………….though it is the most difficult thing to do……………

I want to learn and I want to be silent for all my loved ones and make them feel Love is unspoken, it is only felt.

Sirf ehsaas hai ye, rooh se mehsoos karo…………..
Pyar koi bol nahi, pyar awaaz nahi, ek khamoshi hai, sunti hai kaha karti hai, na ye rukti hai, na bujhti hai na theheri hai kahin, noor ki boond hai sadiyon se baha karti hai, sirf ehsaas hai ye, rooh se mehsoos karo…………….

Silence is actually Golden but it took years for me to understand how important it is to be silent at various times and it is essential to be a person and also have a person who speaks silently and understands feelings silently, it makes Life worth living

If while reading this post you can recall moments relevant to the mentioned situations, I am sure you will agree that those were the moments you actually lived and loved......
