Beloved Master,

I hear Your words, and they are so beautiful. But I feel as if there is not only a communication happening through words, but something deeper. Can You talk to us about this silent communication that is happening?

See, this communication is always there. If you are listening to me, if you are really listening to me, then you will see, you are not only listening to the words. There is something more. Listening to me, the mind stops, the thinking is relaxed. When there are no thoughts, you become open. When you are not thinking, you become open. And then my work can start. Then, what has to happen will happen. So the words are used only as a device.

So actually, my message is not in the words, it is in the silence. But only when I am speaking, the mind becomes silent. If I am silent then the mind will start speaking. If you are silent just by yourself, then there is no need for me to speak. A time will come when you can simply sit next to me. There will be no need for me to speak because you will be silent. This is where the relationship between the two of us begins.

As of now, if I tell you to sit silently near me, will you be able to sit? You will go on talking, you will go on chattering. This will be the chattering from within you. In order to stop this inner chatter, I must talk. My talking will occupy the mind. My talking to you is just like a toy given to a child. The child will go on playing with it. He will become absorbed in it. He will lose himself in it. So take my words as toys. You become so absorbed in the words that you become silent.

Even if you have glimpses of the truth while hearing my words, it has not come from the words. It has come from your silence. If you have the trust that what I am saying is the truth, understand that this trust comes from the silence, not from the words. Whenever you are silent, truth can enter. When you are chattering and absorbing yourself in inner chatter, you miss the truth which is always there.

Whatever I may tell you to do; meditate, dance, whatever I may tell you to do has only one aim. This aim is to make you silent. Whenever you are silent, there is nothing to block the truth from entering. There are no words to block the truth.

The words give you an understanding. They give you inspiration to start your journey towards the truth. But words can never put you directly into the truth.

So allow yourself to get absorbed in the words. Allow yourself to enter the silence; the silence which is forever present.

Thank you.
