Wrapping up the week with Sadhguru’s words on silence.
In today’s whirlwind of activity, where stimulation bombards us from every corner, the concept of stillness can feel almost radical. Yet, within the quietude lies a doorway to our most authentic selves and the wellspring of true potential.
First a look at what we might discover in silence.
“If you touch the still core within yourself, you will touch the original nature of your existence.” – Sadhguru
“Only if you are in touch with the innermost core of who you are, will you live a complete life.” – Sadhguru
Imagine peeling back the layers of external noise and anxieties. Beneath them lies an unshakeable stillness – the essence of who you are. When you connect with this stillness, you tap into a wellspring of clarity and purpose.
The benefits of stillness extend far beyond introspection. Sadhguru unveils the dynamic potential that lies dormant within us. In practical terms, what are the real world products of stillness?
“Once your mind becomes absolutely still, your intelligence transcends human limitations.” – Sadhguru
“Rest is the basis of all activity. Stillness is the basis of all dynamic action.” – Sadghuru
Think of your mind as a cluttered room. When you clear the clutter and create space, your ability to think critically and creatively soars. Stillness becomes the fertile ground where groundbreaking ideas can take root.
Physiologically within every organism, growth is impossible without rest, and in the same way your personal growth is accelerated by your ability to find stillness. Every action you take carries more power when it comes from a foundation that includes silence.
Mantras for embracing stillness:
- “In the quietude, I connect with the essence of who I am.”
- “Stillness is not emptiness; it is the birthplace of my greatest potential.”
- “From a place of inner calm, I take action with focused power.”
Finding stillness doesn’t require drastic lifestyle changes. Start with small, intentional moments. Turn off your phone for a few minutes each day. Sit in quiet contemplation and observe your breath. Take a mindful walk in nature, focusing on the sights and sounds around you. Even a few minutes of dedicated stillness can create a shift in your perspective and lay the foundation for a more empowered and fulfilling life.
Have a beautiful Sunday 🙂
