IN SILENCE SHALL WE COME TO KNOW

I am just passing the time now. I have all the time in the world but nothing to do. Nowhere to go. Nothing to achieve further. Though my parents never dictated to me, and if my heart dictated to me later, coming to Agathiyar, he began to dictate to me and take my life under his control henceforth. Though he allowed me to do as I wished, I would wait for his dictates before engaging in any venture. These days, he seldom comes, letting me scot-free. After engaging us in puja at home and later in the temples, and having us do charity, he finally had us halt it all. That was the very first lesson in letting go. That is the reason I am happy today too. Having me go within, he tapped the energy centers in me and had me experience, watch, document it, and share it with my readers. There was nothing further to do, he said, adding that this energy would do its work. So here I am sitting on a bench in the public park after my regular evening walk and tapping into his thoughts and drafting this post.

I believe that the clarity we have all been seeking in all matters, both material and spiritual, is not in this maze or web that we have created for ourselves, and that Maya came to envelop further but has to come from both the beyond and within. All the answers are there within us in that empty void space that is silence. Hence, the reason for asking us to go within and connect with it. We shall not be a walking dictionary. There won't be a flood of answers arriving, but what is required of us to know for that moment, for otherwise we shall have to carry the cosmos on our shoulders too, besides the baggage we brought with us.
