I watch the waves in a beach.
Not one moment of silence!.
Waves chasing waves
all the time!
I had been in quite bays too.
But still not so quite,
at least a gentle breeze caressing!
The world is never at rest.
Even with in a resting man
prana goes in and out.
You could minimize the rate
to achieve something.
But not totally.
Then you are dead.
Even after death the soul
wanders it seems. So no rest.
In the entire universe
there is no moment of
total rest or silence!
The corporate gurus promise you
Samadhi - a state of total rest!
There are varieties of meditation
on the market. Vipasana, transcendal!
Can you really silence your mind?
You could possibly reduce the
wandering. An active mind jumps
a lot. When you watch it, jumping stops
but it quickly finds an escape route
to continue wandering.
Zen trains you by emptying your mind,
Hindus focus on images and statues,
bajans and chanting mantras!
To do anything, an effort is needed.
No passivity in doing something!
Will there be a moment of silence
occurring effortlessly as they promise?
A game of hide and seek.
We want to be cheated.
That is the fact.
