When we belong to Baba, whatever we learn is learning for whole life. Not only is for this full life, but this learning also continues in the golden age, silver age, and some of it until the end of the cycle. That means knowledge or learning is not just for us adopting to certain principles or living a life’s lifestyle. But actually it’s becoming or forming samskaras or becoming that image.
We have to feel that confluence age, that I am complete in that image. That means we have to, in a word, in Caucasian, applying or integrate is something what we have to constantly do. Because applying or dharna, I’m adopting, I am using and the knowledge into actions. In the same way, silence also is not only experience of when we are sitting and practicing silence. These days we have every hour, one minute of silence.
We have Amrit Vela, then meditation before morning, evening meditation. It’s like so many times we just pause, we stop for a few moments and we go into our original state of being, our original stage. Mind and intellect are two energies within the soul which really makes life move. Without thoughts, without power to discern, or without reasoning, there won’t be function in the human life.
So within the soul, mind and intellect, they move. They must function. They continuously… It will never happen that it stops. In other words, silence is not to stop the mind. Even Baba uses the word fully stop, but that also has deeper meaning than just stopping the mind. It’s same like anything which is functioning. There is different kinds of energy, there is relax city, whatever way, but it should continuously function.
Mind and intellect has connection with our inner conscience. It has connection with consciousness. It has connection with making us live. In other words, we use the word consciousness, that means you are living being. We love mind and intellect because they are two very important abilities. We use the word either abilities or faculties of the soul. Because even soul cannot function without mind, without intellect. Because when the thoughts come, then only body will function. As soul and body, they are together. In the same way, we have to see how we can adopt silence. And that silence becomes our very natural in the sense of I only think whenever I want to think, as much I want to think. One is to stop, you know, that I shouldn’t think.
