“The silence
amongst the Noise”
Silence
is normally considered as ‘lack of sound.’
But that definition can be considered only on the physical level. In the non-physical level, the term silence
has a much broader meaning. It is not
the absence of sound, but the absence of thoughts and the absence of emotional
flow. There is ‘noise’ all around us
even in the extremely ‘quite’ of places.
The true silence is a very unique feeling.
Especially
in the case of Indian Classical Music, this ‘silence’ can be observed. We can experience it very nicely in a
classical concert and it is a boon to experience it. It is the place where the artist leads us
to. Or rather to say, it is a feeling
that the artist helps us to experience.
It is a non-physical help that the artist ‘gives’ to the audience. It is one of the purest of donations, the
greatest of deeds. A few hours of this
non-physical help gives such a great deal of satisfaction, happiness and some
time away from the miseries and challenges that we face every day. That time under the cool shadows of a tree,
away from the burning sun…
This
concept of silence is one feeling where we can relax, where we can rejuvenate
ourselves; that one place where we are not separate from each other but one
with each other. It is where we might be
different or separated by body, but one with mind and beyond.
This
wonderful home where we can relax is available to all anytime and
anywhere. We should visit there from
time to time. We all have the keys to
the doors which we know the location of.
It is then our personal CHOICE, weather to walk through it or not.
Our
choices decide everything.
So,
hope everyone makes the right choices and not the easy ones. After all, we all want happiness for us all,
don’t we?
