Importance of Silence

Once there was a farmer who discovered that he had lost his watch in the farm. It was not an ordinary watch because it had sentimental value for him. After searching the hay for a long time, he gave up and called for the help of a group of children playing outside the barn. He promised them that, the person who found it, would be rewarded. Hearing this, the children hurried inside the barn, went through and around the hay but still could not find the watch. Just when the farmer was about to give up looking for his watch, a little boy went up to him and asked to be given another chance. The farmer looked at him and thought, “Why not ? After all, this kid looks sincere enough.” So the farmer sent the little boy back in the barn. After a while the little boy came out with the watch in his hand..! The farmer was happy and surprised. He asked the boy how he succeeded when the rest had failed…! The boy replied, “I did nothing but sit on the ground and listen. In the silence, I heard the ticking of the watch and just looked for it in that direction.”

MESSAGE:
A “Peaceful” mind can think better than a “Worked Up” mind. Allow a few minutes of silence to your mind every day, and see, how sharply it helps you to organize your life the way u expect it to be.

MORAL:
The soul always knows what to do to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind. To awaken the soul help comes from the Divine himself. Pujya Guruji Maharaj shows us the way of jaap which becomes the 1st step towards silence and meditation.
