if you are always speaking, or if you are filling the air with a barrage of unspoken words....Either way, there is an absence of silence.
Complete stillness of the mind is silence and for this to happen we have to thoroughly and effectively empty our mind. If there is even one word, it will ping on the walls of our mind and generate more words.
Just with the force of your own self you can silence your mind. This will keep your mouth also shut. The resulting silence will heal and bless your soul.
Huxley compares Beethoven's and Mozart's music with Wagner's. While Beethoven and Mozart use the silence of rests/pauses to bring out the beauty of their music, Wagner's is a 'ceaseless torrent' of notes. Beethoven and Mozart generate beautiful words in our hearts, but Wagner cannot be heard since his music is 'always speaking'.
So many words only end up exhausting us physically and emotionally, and depleting us spiritually.
Empty your mind of words and listen to the Benedictus in Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis.
Once again, we have to WANT this, for this to happen. We also have to be determined to practice this till it becomes a part of us...
