Being
in the Eternal
Silence
This visualization was given by Gautama Buddha in the
following message.
I give you the visualization
that when you find yourself in the hustle and bustle of the marketplace,
and you become aware that you have become distraught, or stressed out
or burdened, you step aside and say,
“Ah, I am caught in the mud at the bottom of the lake. But now
I will find that point of stillness within my heart, I will find the
seed of the lotus flower, and I will let it germinate and send up a
stalk to the surface of the water.”
And you visualize how the white Mother Light raises up from the base
to the crown, and as it reaches the crown, the thousand-petaled lotus
unfolds.
And you are now no longer in the mud, because you are seated as the
Buddha – with my Presence superimposed upon you – and you
are literally floating on water. You are floating on the Sea of Samsara,
and nothing beneath the surface can touch you, because that surface
is calm like a sea of glass.
That is the silence.
And take some time out, once in awhile, to just enjoy the silence. There
is so much noise in this world. Turn off the radio. Turn off the music.
Unplug yourself from the noisemaking machines that people have invented
to prevent you from experiencing the Eternal Silence.
