THE BEGINNING OF SADHANA

The joy of sharing the truth is unparalleled. Sharing brings about explosions. Talking only explains matters. Answers, likewise, give the listener only a false satisfaction of having cleared the doubts. Answers never solve our problems. Whereas, true sharing totally dissolves the form of the problem itself. Heart to heart communication is true sharing, though sometimes done only through words. Answers appeal to the brain. Sharing goes straight to the heart!

Dissolution takes place in the heart only when the listener experiences the clarity of the sharer. Experience transcends mere intellectual understanding and ignites an explosion in the listener. Like camphor that burns without leaving any residue, this explosion too, leaves no residue of understanding or non-understanding. Both get blown away in this explosive experience.

Sat sang alone can bring about such explosions! During and after this explosion, what reigns is only silence. Silence is only in the Heart. In fact, silence is the Heart itself. Descending from the head to the Heart is the beginning of sadhana, says Bhagavan. Sat Sang with saints and saintly people brings this silence about, and with effortless ease too. True happiness is there only in this silence.
