Linda Mar beach, March 13, 2016

I am parked at Linda Mar beach, checking out the waves. It is stormy and raining. The wind is off shore and the waves are head high.

As i look out through the eyes, i become aware of the silence. The normal mind chatter is noticeably absent.

In silence, i perceive “I” exist independent of the ever changing mind-body phenomenon. There is only the ever present witnessing awareness.

Krishna says in Bhagavad Gita 10.38, “ Of secret things, I am silence.”

In the Purport of this verse, Prabhupada states, “Among the confidential activities of hearing, thinking and meditating, silence is most important because by silence one can make progress very quickly. “

There you go!
