Nature of Silence
O’ Silence
You are the epitome of Peace
Param Shanti!
Within the uttered and unuttered
You swing.
Silence at the wish level
Has much to offer
And much to shower care.
Silence is a thundering noise.
Because thinking has its own noise.
Noise of silence has unfathomable chaos.
It speaks volumes
And yet it scores over and
Stores all the unexpressed wisdom.
Sound of silence has sparkling rays
And blasts of flashes
To dispel darkness of even within the silence.
Silence is empowered
Has its own pause and
Also hyphenated with unwished silence.
Again silence can make
All silent!
O’ Silence
You are an enigma
To the wishful thinking.
Silence can scale the state
Where the mind will cease to wish
And wishful thinking
Of subjugating to the silence
Would come to the fore
One day, before long!
Ajapa Ram Naam Jaap
Exploring Silence
Swami Satyanandji Maharajji had taught us about RAM NAAM JAAP and its many nuances. The philosophy of RAM NAAM MAHAMANTRA is the mode and destiny as well for attaining MOKSHA. The process is simple and free from rituals. He stressed for constant remembrance or Simran of RAM NAAM. It starts with voluntary effort of chanting and doing simran and before long it becomes involuntary chanting as we realize every tissue, muscle, nerves of our body echoes the sacred name. This process of RAM NAAM JAAP empatterns our thinking process and brings about the harmonization of all the prevalent frequencies of our mind, body and soul. Ajapa Jaap enthuses a positive energy and our thought and action becomes pious and non-injurious.
Instincts of a moral action and aberrant thinking are phased out involuntarily. Our karma-pattern gets an elevation. Ajapa Jaap ensures the dawning of sacredness which is full of self-less love for the supreme immortal and mortals as well.
However, RAM NAAM JAAP, has many hidden nuances as this is the name of Param Guru and the Mahamantra as well which promises emancipation for sure. The sacred name RAM has dynamic codification of the divine supreme. This is the seed mantra invoked by Guru and planted in the manas (Inner mind) of the devout. Guru does it with the awakened kundalini. The devout is enveloped in divine acoustic at the time of diksha. Ram Dhun in various dynamic of utterance gushes through the mind and body in order to purify the being. The bliss is experienced. But the effects of this divine experience are prolonged with Ajapa Jaap a devout does in an unceasing fashion. Through this process RAM MANTRA flowers like the sacred lotus within and this ensures Moksha.
RAM NAAM JAAP revolves around the principle of sound and silence, utterance and non-utterance or simran. Silencing the chaos of our mind and body is the first rudimentary for RAM NAAM SADHAK. Chanting of RAM NAAM that starts from voluntary utterance gets embedded in our mind and body. Then follows the play of lila of silence at the unuttered level. A sadhak experiences gushing thoughts flowing through the mind as a young rivulet. This is the noise of silence. The RAM NAAM JAAP first disciplines our thought and then the patterned thinking emerge. At another level in the silence of our mind one encounters the Kalpataru or the wish -tree which has many branches of cravings, aspirations and then multiplies with every fulfillment.
Swamiji Dr.Vishwa Mitterji rightly guides us time and again through a slimily that our life is like a “Desire Lamp” and it burns on the oil called “Unending wishes” that allows multiplications of mortal cravings in an unending fashion. This “Oil” called wish touches the level of perversion and thus this supply of “wish fuel” must be stopped if we are to turn towards divinity.
The divine inner journey or the antarmukhi yatra with internalization of RAM NAAM ensures a process of silencing the “Wish” called noise which resides in our mental silence zone. The traverse through the various notions of silence though remain mystic and do sound enigmatic but can give a definite perspective to navigate through the multi-layers of silence and finally encountering enlightenment where darkness dispelled and eternal light smears one and all for our final retreat to the RAMAMAYE VAIKUNTHA.
How Best to Enjoy this Book!
This book simultaneously deals with two subjects – “Glory of RAM NAAM” which appears on the left pages(APPEAR FIRST IN OURDER) through-out. On the right side(next in order) pages we find revelations on Silence. There exists a mystic relation with left side(FIRST PAGE) and right side (SECOND OR CONSEQITIVE PAGE)contents. Because both the contents are different yet they have a subtle bonds which is matter of contemplation and re-understanding when one is engaged in Ajapa Ram Naam Naam Jaap. And beyond this Ajapa Jaap lies the big horizon of silence both as our self discover through Swadhya and revelations.
These contents are one-liners and made for fast reading especially for youth. So it is advised that at the first level if one reads the left sides only then one would discover a sequencing of real glory of RAM NAAM through 80 sentences. This would spark a sense of re-discovery about the dynamic RAM NAAM MAHAMANTRA and would stimulate the Ajapa Jaap of RAM NAAM.
Similarly, if one reads the right sides(next page after ram theme appearing in alternate page) page containing Silence then we would discover 80 layers or stages of silence. With every page we would re-discover the magnificent concept of silence and sound. So this book is two-in-one, truly unveiling the mystic Guna of RAM NAAM and the process of internalization through the exploration of silence.
Finally, to re-explore the book one should read both “Glory of RAM NAAM” and “Silence” together as they appear. This will reveal something quite different in an enjoined and integral manner.
Let us begin our journey and explore the frontiers of silence with deep touch of reverence for RAM NAAM.
