atteIJIJadIJIJ (IJIJy strictures and, therefore, is an easy way to outer silence and finally to inner silence. Inner silence is when the thoughts stop. It’s not only ascetics who can reach this state; anyone can benefit from this practice. As we move towards inner silence, we will find stress and diseases disappearing. Our communication with others will be much more refined as this sense is getting refined too.
We see that conflicts arise from inappropriate communication. We think and speak at the same time and the moment the other person says something we answer without consulting our mind about what we should say. In fact, nowadays it’s not about what you want to say; it’s about what answer the other person wants to hear. If you don’t provide that answer, communication cannot continue. We make mistakes here without purpose and realisation because we don’t have enough control over this sense organ, ie, the tongue. It is said that the tongue can be man’s greatest enemy. The words once spoken like arrows shot, cannot be taken back. The practice of Maun will help us maintain this speed between the brain activity and what is said and also to give the most suitable answer. There is hardly any seconds’ gap between these two activities; so it’s crucial. It’s never too late to adopt silence and benefit from this age-old custom.
The Britishers in the 19th century were seen smoking cigars and were known for not answering anything before taking a couple of puffs. Was it considered stylishIJ In a way, yes, but the real aim was to pause and think before answering. In today’s modern day world, the need of a pause is very important. Not everyone can think at a high speed before answering. Sometimes, a sip of tea or coffee, bite of snack, a puff of cigarette help build in these necessary pauses in a conversation or get together. It’s a subtle way of having peaceful interaction.
So, we must take care that these fillers are around us when we talk to people. In office, this may not be possible. Even then people take pauses, extend the issue and take time to think. Sometimes, it’s better to say honestly that you need time to think and take a break, especially when there are deadlocks. Another important way to have effective conversation is to find out what the other person wants to hear rather than loading your views on him. No one accepts anything until it is something which suits him. Pauses help us think and find out what is suitable for the other person. Then, communication becomes smooth. Maintaining outer silence also enables us to know when to have a pause and when to take a break as there is better synchronisation between the mind and speech. Its never too late to start and become a happier person!
