Under the Shade af Trance/93
Silence is not the decrease in the strength of thoughts, but it is the accumulation of thoughts. Language turns out the internal energy, but silence is the medium of saving-energy. Silence is the door to enter the internal world from the external. To make one's new energies emerge, silence is the preliminary stage. Therefore, silence in itself is a meditational seeking. It is the sentinel of the discipline of speech, a store for saving strength, and the formula to keep truth intact.
He is the see-through and brilliant 'sadhaka' of truth, who has closed the doors of mind, speech and body. He is keeping a stupor-free vigil on these entrances. His gaze remains fixed at the entry of the internal world. The guests of the external world enter through this very door. Unworthy and unwanted guests do knock at the door, but he does not respond to all the knocks; he just listens to the knock of the truth. He receives only those people, who may enhance the prestige and glory of his internal world.
Trance is happy-go-luckiness of inside. It can be observed in the happiness of consciousness that becomes visible on the face. It is not the palatial golden construction of any particular place, nor does it imply becoming the lord of any place, but it is the hang-over of an extraordinary pleasure in the open eyes of the internal being. It is a smile even in defeat, it is firmness of a palace even on earth. Trance is the indicative of becoming monumental from nil. Trance does not brighten up if a pin is pierced in the lust-filled eyes, but after all the clouds and the fog of the dark sky of inside are removed, it emerges in the form of rays.
Trance is also a state; there are no inclinations. The possibility of tendencies can not be ruled out, while the glimpse of trance can be viewed after the screen of mind is torn off. The joyous sojourn of consciousness is beyond every alternative of the mind, He who lives in trance is a cent-percent non-mind, but not nonconscious. Consciousness is lush green there. Every possibility of consciousness becomes founded (introduced) by the association of trance. He does not have to remember who is he. All his queries are drowned. Whatever happened was just following in the footsteps of the answers.
