what is sound of silence
Answers
Being totally thoughtless may be the toughest thing to do but it is the only state in which you can listen to the sound of silence — Aum. This is the only sound which appears when all your thoughts are gone and your innermost core is drenched in serenity, calmness. Aum is a symbol of silent music in the inner being full of bliss. If one reaches that state, transcending the mind, dropping all thoughts and instead becoming a watcher of the mind, the silent music will surface within. In the painting titled Serenity, the fragrance of pure silent sound has been depicted through the symbol of Aum along with a shloka from the Mandukya Upanishad: Esa Sarvesvara Esa Sarvajna, Esontaryamy. Esa Yonih Sarvasya Prabhavapyayau Hi Bhutanam —‘This is the lord of all, this is the knower of all, this is the inner controller, this is the source of all, and this is the beginning and the end of beings’. In the Bhagwad Gita, chapter 10, Krishna tells Arjuna that of all creations, he is the beginning and the end.
