If we had a keen vision of all that is ordinary in human life, it would be like hearing the grass grow or the squirrel's heart beat, and we should die of that roar which is the other side of silence.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
But being quiet and meditating on sound is something completely different and will be discovered very soon by a lot of people who feel that the visual world doesn't reach their soul anymore.
We can hear the silent voice of the spiritual universe within our own hearts.
We cannot afford to exclude any vision - any way of looking at the world - that human beings have invented for ourselves.
Even in the most beautiful music there are some silences, which are there so we can witness the importance of silence.
Let us be silent, that we may hear the whispers of the gods.
The overwhelming bulk of the cosmos is deathly quiet. But here and there - on worlds where matter is thick and conditions are right - noises are commonplace. And in some cases, these noisy worlds may ring with the sounds of life - the bleats and bellows of creatures we have never seen, but may someday discover.
Also, as I lay there thinking of my vision, I could see it all again and feel the meaning with a part of me like a strange power glowing in my body; but when the part of me that talks would try to make words for the meaning, it would be like fog and get away from me.
Everything in life is speaking in spite of it's apparent silence.
We do not see nature with our eyes, but with our understandings and our hearts.
With an eye made quiet by the power of harmony, and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things.
