Reflection
Silence
Prayer is sitting in the silence until it silences us.
— Richard Rohr
प्रार्थना तब तक मौन में बैठना है जब तक कि वह हमें खामोश न कर दे।
— रिचर्ड रोहर
Why this matters:
Prayer is sitting in the silence until it silences us.
यह क्यों मायने रखता है:
हम अक्सर प्रार्थना को कुछ ऐसा समझते हैं जो हम अपने मन या मुँह से करते हैं। लेकिन प्रार्थना का उच्चतम रूप मौन को हम पर अपना काम करने देना है, हमारे अहंकार की बाधाओं को तब तक कम करना जब तक कि हम उतने ही शांत न हो जाएं जितना कि वह स्थान जिसमें हम हैं।
