Guest guest Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 Amarnath, Thank you so, this was so beautiful that I shared this with the forum at babaji.net. I did not post your name, though. I will if you want me to. Love, Stacee --- amarnath <anatol_zinc > wrote: silence, in secret thou art the source and goal of all creation from your stillness flows all goodness ~ love, compassion, selflessness, humility like a thief the ego takes credit for love, compassion, selflessness, humility and proclaims religion, charity, brotherhood, world peace movement silence, in your simple humility you offer no protest silence, please forgive this ego which dares to speak on your behalf silence, please take me into your bosom please take me deep into your nothingness please free me from this painful confusion of words mother of silence, my first info was that you do not speak, just hug that those hugged go deep into silence or cry for hours and so it was somewhat my first hug in 1995 in NJ my first sight of you touching hands as you walked in, sat down a short meditation led by swamiji then five hours straight of hugs without a lecture swamis singing was the background i thought perhaps it was the music drawing the mind inward and then you were gone what a strange sight to the western mind addicted to words, concepts and propaganda your silence and a faint memory of your name "Amma" stayed it was a mixed feeling to find out that you do speak ten volumes of "awaken children" and many other books and say that silence indeed is the goal that thoughts and ego in the head indeed obstacles that the external amma with body who speaks is just to lead us to the inner amma without body who does not speak but abides in our hearts as silence, stillness, nothingness externally enchanting are your smile and hugs but your real work remains invisible our attachments to your words are hit or miss sometimes inspiring, guiding sometimes food for our clever egos o mother of silence, why do you risk speech? to tell us that the mind is a big lie? that the mad world is just a projection of that lie? that no-mind is the goal? achieved when the ego is no-more? whatever beauty, love, peace, compassion in the world is it not stolen from momets of silence? from the unnoticeable spaces between thoughts? is it not truly sad that we acknowledge thoughts as beautiful prayers, poems, bhajans, art, knowledge, scriptures and ignore the silence from which they arise? is it not truly sad that we seek facts in words instead of the ultimate truth of silence? o mother of silence, free me from these burdensome words commune with no-me in silence your loving son, amarnath Aum Amriteswarayai Namaha!
