listen to God’s voice in the language of silence

LISTEN TO GOD’S VOICE IN THE LANGUAGE OF SILENCE God speaks in silence, but we want to listen to Him in the language of noise! How, then, can we at all listen to God’s voice? One who deeply ponders the signs in the universe will be struck by the silence there. He will be left dumbstruck. if you are in a room, you can measure the length and breadth of its ceiling. however, if you are in a big field, under the open sky, all your criteria for measuring things fail to gauge the length and breadth of the sky. The same holds for the rest of the universe. a tiny seed gradually grows into a tree, a world in itself. Who can narrate how this happens? The light that the sun pours out, the circulation of the winds, the songs of the birds, the gurgling of the brooks, and innumerable similar things— we see them with our eyes, but it is impossible to express them in words. Truth is more delicate than that which can be expressed in words. in reality, Truth starts when the tongue gets stuck and falls silent. significance and meaning appear where words stop and cannot go further. God speaks in silence, but we want to listen to him in the language of noise! how, then, can we at all listen to God’s voice? The most precious things in this world are conveyed in the language of silence.
