Expressed silence is beauty
Had been listening to a song for quite a while that included the following poem, and just found out the poem was written by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, who recently passed...
Flowing silence is love
Shared silence is friendship
Silence seen is infinity
Vibrating silence is creation
Expressed silence is beauty
Maintained silence is strength
Allowed silence is rest
Received silence is joy
Perceived silence is knowledge
Silence alone is being
Silence alone is being

For some reason, it makes me think of "tomorrow never knows" by the beatles. peace from brazil,
Turn off your mind, relax
and float down stream
It is not dying
It is not dying
Lay down all thought
Surrender to the void
It is shining
It is shining
That you may see
The meaning of within
It is being
It is being
That love is all
And love is everyone
It is knowing
It is knowing
That ignorance and hate
May mourn the dead
It is believing
It is believing
But listen to the
color of your dreams
It is not living
It is not living
Or play the game
existence to the end
Of the beginning
Of the beginning
Of the beginning
Of the beginning
Of the beginning
Of the beginning
I have known this poem somewhat differently (see below) but also through my association with Maharishi, as a teacher of his Transcendental Meditation. It has always been shown as by 'anonymous' but who knows?
Silence flowing is Creation
Silence flowing is Love
Silence shared is Friendship
Silence seen is Infinity
Silence heard is Adorable
Silence expressed is Beauty
Silence maintained is Strength
Silence omitted is Suffering
Silence allowed is Rest
Silence recorded is Scripture
Silence preserved is our Tradition
Silence given is Initiating
Silence received is Joy
Silence perceived is Knowledge
Silence stabilized is Fulfillment
Silence alone is.
Thank you for your post. Can you say what song you heard the poem in?
