1. Scripture as
the revelation of God.
2. Discover the revelation that silence brings.
3. Silence offers, one must attain silence. It is NOT EASY.
Comfortable Posture. Close eyes for 10 minutes. Observe total
silence of Heart and Mind. Describe ‘Silence’ in terms of your
attempts. Experience may infinitely be varied. You have to still
the constant wandering of your mind. To quiet and emotional turmoil.
On approaching frontiers of silence there may be PANIC and WITHDRAWAL.
You may have frightening experience. NO REASON TO BE DISCOURAGED.
Wandering thoughts are a great revelation. Take time to EXPERIENCE
this wandering mind and TYPE of wandering it indulges. SOMETHING
ENCOURAGING awareness of mental wandering, inner turmoil
and inability to be still shows that you have small degree of
silence within you. AGAIN close your eyes, become aware of wandering
mind for two minutes. Now sense the silence that makes it possible
to be aware of wanderings of your mind.
MINIMAL SILENCE as it grows, it reveals more and more rather it
reveals yourself to you. You will have ATTAINMENTS like WISDOM,
SERENITY, BLISS, GOD, PRECAUTION: you shall have no talk and no
discussion. Inhale and exhale deep and slow breathing throughout.
Again close your eyes for five minutes. SEEK SILENCE. Now see
your success whether more or less. Don’t seek
ANYTHING SENSATIONAL. In fact, do not seek at all.
Limit yourself to observing. Take in everything that comes to
your awareness whether big, small, trite or ordinary. CONTENT
of awareness is less important than the quality of
awareness. As quality improves, so silence deepens, you will experience.
You will discover, to your delight, that revelation is not knowledge.
It is power: a mysterious power that brings transformation.
