________________ THE WRITER'S FEELINGS Gaining, knowing the essence of the Supreme Being - the direct experience is the ultimate goal. The instrument of realisation of Supreme Being is very profound, without any thoughts, the spritual silence. Without becoming totally free from the known, with an abundant joy to experience sentiments of the Supreme Being is not possible. So long as one does not attain the Supreme Being, one has to remain neck-deep in the spiritual being in words; that becomes each sadhak's personal, essential duty. Because those who are experts in the Supreme Being of words only are eligible to gain the essence of the Supreme Being. In the devotion to Bhagwan after inspiring the Supreme Being of the world, only the silence is iron-like. Otherwise, even the silence is fragile. In the light of the Supreme Being what is glorified is the abundant freedom of joy only. In the company of the Supreme Being of the word, what is glorified, is abundant freedom of joy of the words spontaneously surrendered. The word and the silence ~ though apparentely they appear contradictory yet they are supplementary to each another. If you consider the word like a seed, then the silence could be placed as a tree. From a seed, there is a tree and from the tree there is a seed. From the words, the silence and from the silence there is a word. If we get engaged ourselves in the talk with the Supreme Soul then only thought process about matters- materialistic becomes silent. And from such peaceful silence only, the word connecting with the Supreme Soul gets manifested. How unique and peculiar is the relationship between the word and the silence!!
