MANY TIMES, SPEECH MAY BE SILVER BUT SURE SILENCE IS.. EVER GOLD!


A man got into a perennial problem in his life. In that context, he approached few people for advice..

  • "Take my this advice. I've given a similar one to so many people. People always got some benefit this way or that way of what I said. It's so simple to understand and follow. The plan of action for you in the present situation is.....
  • I just told you everything crystal clear. You should act now. What's the use of keeping quiet doing nothing or do some thing here and there without head and tail?
  • Act in a concrete way, dear.. Beyond god will take care!"
The man of pure worldly interest said emphatically..
  • "Take my this advice.. I've given in few places. Mostly, people got some benefit of what I told. It's simple.. The plan of action for you in the present situation is.....
  • I just told the over all.. You should act now. Beyond it is His Will!"
The man of certain moral values said firmly..
  • "Take my this advice.. I've given in few places. The plan of action for you in the present situation is.....
  • I told the over all and you should act now. Finally, it is the Almighty that does everything!"
The man of certain ethics said softly..
  • "Just see if this works.. The plan of action for you in the present situation is.....
  • I may or may not be that right here. God Bless!"
The man of certain insight said with a smile..
  • "See if something of this is useful. Try doing that and hope for the best.. Om! Shanthi!"
The man of certain spiritual elevation said in a loving tone..


At the back of all those advises, the next day evening the man visited near by temple, offered his sincere prayer to the Lord and sat in silence in front of the Deity. As he sat thus, he happened to hear a small story told on the loud speakers of the temple, as part of the discourse delivered for the day..

  • "A man with perennial problem visited the near by Ashram for seeking the Great Saint's advice. Having seen the Great Saint silently sitting in Meditation, the man too sat in silence in front of Him..
  • The Great Saint continued His silence for a while, further opened His eyes, with a silent gesture looked at the man and enquired through silent hand signal whether he was feeling better for which the man without his knowledge nodded his head silently..
  • Both sat for some more time in silence and finally as the man silently took leave from the Great Personality through a silent bow down and came out silently, to his great surprise he could find within,
The ultimate solution to his problem!"
