Silence
What are "questions
and answers in the silence world"?
Once a seeker named Bijoykrishna went to visit the spiritual
Master Ramdas Kathiya Baba while he was holding a meeting.
The disciples of Ramdas Kathiya Baba were asking their
Master questions, but Bijoykrishna remained silent.
When he was about to go away, the disciples of Ramdas
Kathiya Baba said to him, "You came all the way
from a distant village to meet with our Master. Do you
not have anything to ask?"
Bijoykrishna said, "I have already asked him many,
many questions. He has answered all my questions inwardly."
Ramdas smiled and said, "It is absolutely true."
When silence asks a question and silence answers, both
the question and the answer are most powerful, for the
question and answer start their journey in the silence-heart
and end their journey in the silence-heart. When the
question and answer are not from the silence world,
the mind wants to add something to the question and
to the answer. What the mind adds is nothing but a doubtful,
hesitant and discouraging existence-reality. When the
mind is involved, the reality-experience is not and
cannot be spontaneous; therefore, it is infinitely inferior
to the reality-experience which lives in the heart,
with the heart and for the heart. In the heart, spontaneity
always reigns supreme.
