On Silence
Silence is the womb of all that
is spoken and heard.
Silence is the flow of the river of intelligence
Words like the banks are
mere inturruptions to the flow.
Through words, One become many,
In silence, many return to the One.
In silence creation happens:
The master in us has created a house
called the universe
Through words we knock the door
of this house.
In silence, the chest of treasure
is flung open
Speak but do not stand in the way
of the music of silence.
Your words are useless
with this music.
The original voice of life
is silence.
All other noises of the world
are mere echoes.
