Today’s world is a mirage. We make friends based on external appearances and worldly parameters … not on inner values. We adorn a mask of goodness to camouflage our real self. We ignore the realities of life and live in exotic feelings … far from the real purpose of life.
We pretend to be ‘best friends’ to others … making them believe that we are their ever green world.
In this materialistic world of cut-throat competition and jealousy, every one of us is running a rat race for worldly achievements. In the process the basic values of life is sacrificed. When time comes we abandon our friends high and dry mercilessly. We seldom realize one day or the other we will face the same situation.
To save ourselves from such unpleasant situations, we have to find our ‘best friend’ within us ... ‘the soul’. We have to travel a world beyond … a world seldom explored by most of us … a world of serenity. When we observe total silence we can explore our inner soul gifted by God … where we hear God communicating to us … sweet and fable, which most of us miss to hear.
The faking world loves noise. Silence is considered as depressing and disturbing. In reality, silence makes us understand ourselves from within. We have to be silent enough to hear our ‘best friend’ … ‘our soul’ which guides us. But we often ignore and go according to our wish, for which regret later.
It would be worthwhile to practice the art of observing silence to meet our true and unfailing best friend .. ‘our soul’
