Gurudev, could you please speak about solidified silence. I have often heard this phrase from you.
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:
It is only in experience, it cannot be explained. It is something like when you feel that space is like solid. Knowledge, space and silence can all feel as though they are a substance.
Solidified means that which is real. If you ask scientists, they say what appears to be real or material is not real. It is all just space, but it feels real to us. In the same way, it is an experience in meditation when the mind is absolutely still, you will find that the silence is solidified. That’s why they say 'Gyan Ghan' (solidified knowledge). This is a term often used in Sanskrit. It is an experience.
