1. Scripture as the revelation of God.
2. Discover the revelation that silence brings.
3. Silence offers, one must attain silence. It is NOT EASY.
Comfortable Posture. Close eyes for 10 minutes. Observe total silence of Heart and Mind.
Describe ‘Silence’ in terms of your attempts. Experience may infinitely be
varied. You have to still the constant wandering of your mind. To quiet and emotional
turmoil. On approaching frontiers of silence there may be PANIC and WITHDRAWAL. You may
have frightening experience. NO REASON TO BE DISCOURAGED. Wandering thoughts are a great
revelation. Take time to EXPERIENCE this wandering mind and TYPE of wandering it indulges.
SOMETHING ENCOURAGING awareness of mental wandering, inner turmoil and inability to
be still shows that you have small degree of silence within you. AGAIN close your eyes,
become aware of wandering mind for two minutes. Now sense the silence that makes it
possible to be aware of wanderings of your mind.
MINIMAL SILENCE as it grows, it reveals more and more rather it reveals yourself to you.
You will have ATTAINMENTS like WISDOM, SERENITY, BLISS, GOD, PRECAUTION: you shall have no
talk and no discussion. Inhale and exhale deep and slow breathing throughout. Again close
your eyes for five minutes. SEEK SILENCE. Now see your success whether more or less.
Don’t seek ANYTHING SENSATIONAL. In fact, do not seek at all.
Limit yourself to observing. Take in everything that comes to your awareness whether big,
small, trite or ordinary. CONTENT of awareness is less important than the quality
of awareness. As quality improves, so silence deepens, you will experience. You will
discover, to your delight, that revelation is not knowledge. It is power: a mysterious
power that brings transformation.
