Sound of Silence
By Dr Mickey Mehta on 15/11/23Sometimes I wonder, should life be roaring like oceans or silent like lakes?
Empty vessels make most noise - is what we've heard always.
So, does silence speak a lot?
Does noise reduce the impact and its reach?
Although paradoxical, makes a lot of sense.
Deeper the lakes, more the silence.
Wider the oceans, more noise.
Is it about content?
Is it about creativity?
Is it about showing, demonstrating, exhibiting power?
Or is it about having it all, knowing it all and being quiet about it?

Yes, silence is a powerful tool for promoting mental well-being . It reduces anxiety, cultivates mindfulness. Silence is more relaxing , unlocks our creativity allowing innovative ideas to exhibit.
sound of silence -what a divine paie my bro u coupled !!! ...just wonderful, Pranam. Well, to my definition, SILENCE itself is one of most essential Life ENCYCLOPEDIA that learn many many LIFE LESSON how to WIN self negativity. The Moment man learned to keep on MIND silence no further seeking , just b DIVINE soul. That Divinity miraculously refresh SELF impurities, has nothing with rest of mass. Tx
Superficialities always roar and depths are always silent. But the silence also have a sound that is mystical and the seekers with spiritual depths can easily listen to that. And this sound of the silence is existential, since it does not appear to have a cause. So neither it is creativity, nor it is about content. And neither it can be said to have all, nor knowing all and this applies equally to the vice verse of these.
The noise/sound is not external but internal. When you ask/wonder if life "be roaring like oceans or silent like lakes?", you are creating noise within. The sound of silence is realized only when questions drop away, when there is nothing to know, nothing to say, nothing to hear.........................
Oceans are noisy at the shores or at spots where they clash against an non ocean object, be it boulders or such things. Please travel into deep sea, its silent n very calm. Turbulence are rare n due to gravitational reasons n not ocean itself or its size. Silence is also a language
Knowledge is vast and extensive...there's still to learn. Thanks 😊 🫂 🙏 😊
It's simple. Know the Thoughts works continuum and animated silence of thought less moments. Active Energy rise, fall and Inactive Energy conservation (constancy). Human nature in the tide and flow of Nature.
Great thought
"Should life be roaring like oceans or silent like lakes"??? Life can NEVER be one constant state. Life is everything, infinite sounds infinite colours, infinite forms, infinite textures, infinite everything....
Since empty vessels are empty they don't know they are empty and so make so much noise. You need to wait till they realise it, and finally fall quiet.
Don't know. Don't know what works when. The second approach takes a lot of time. You need to be patient. Do you have it?
