Silence.
It appears in your life all of a sudden, without any warning.
Normally your day is made up of a routine. Unconsciously or knowingly, all of us follow a routine. For some, it is the same set of tasks that they do, at the given time and place. For others, it is the same set of thoughts that they think every day. Only the effect of the thoughts changes. Some bring in the same kind of emotions but with changing intensity. Your day is not just made up of physical work, but mental activity too.
And then, Silence makes its presence felt at some point during your day. It could be the busiest day of your life, or the laziest day. It could be any time of the day. But you feel it.
It's like, you were shivering badly and a huge warm blanket wrapped itself around you. Or, you were watching the sea with its tidal waves, and in the blink of an eye, the waves disappeared, leaving behind just the sea with no motion at all. Or, on a bright sunny day, a huge dark grey cloud covered the sky and brought in cold and darkness in the world.
Silence. It is necessary. It is the sleep that your tired soul craves. It is the night that your hyper-active mind longs for. It makes you view the bigger picture. You face the question - 'Who am I?' when you confront Silence. And this question is just the beginning of Self-Realisation. Gradually you will realize that you are not the physical work you do, you are not the thoughts that you think every day. You are Formless. One with the Universe. There is no Other. Just You. One Self manifesting as Many. All your struggles, physical and mental, end when you realise your true nature.
Silence. It is the beginning. And the End.
