Watching Silence

Watching silence...! Watching silence - an attempt to look inwards, induces heavenly bliss - while alive, as rewards! Pierce through one's own-self deep to begin with, reflect, incessant chatter of mind - 'Oh', it writhe! We can shut our eyes 'n' ears to the world around; what about mind and its clutter that surround? At comfort, we do roam around the worlds; bringing nostalgic memories of it, into our folds! Moments and events unravel on its pace, the 'I' staking claims and credits - a mindless race! "What is in it for me?" - motive behind all action; altruistic intent battered to a miniscule fraction! Pause a while and watch thoughts pass-by, giving room for goodness to surge from the sly! Just frivolous and trivial are all the material gains, leaving you restless and writhing in deep pain! In that calm and tranquil, as we begin watching, resisting all attempts of mind to start snatching! As we mellow down from within on this count; it is fathomless surreal tranquility we mount! In that stillness and calm as we exist along, exploring our deep inside with a Swan-song! It is when we turn a mute witness to that silence, we find abiding joy and bliss - an eternal presence!
