Birds seem to be happy through their chirping and singing.
Thus nature is not silent and human language is simply one of the
many languages in the universe.
By cultivating ourselves and keeping the precepts properly,
we will have a pure heart and we will be able to understand the
sounds of all things. We will also be able to see and hear the
Deities, Saints, and Celestial Beings. A pure and peaceful heart is
required to open up the centers of consciousness in the body in
order to receive the hidden secrets of the universe.
Most people prefer to learn from textbook only. Such
learning leads to a superficial knowledge of nature as it leaves
aside hidden metaphysical principles and mystical realms. I t
conceals the ultimate out of reach goal, as people are not able to
see or to even think about it. In fact, this is exactly what people
should know. Everything has a mind and language beside their
forms. It is the mind that gives life to all things, expressing itself
through the form, sign and language. Therefore nothing is silent.
Silence is the language inside the mind that sometimes provides
perfect communication. From now on, we should not
discriminate or have contempt between living beings and living
things.
Anyone who thoroughly penetrates the body, speech, and
mind Secrets will immediately reach the Buddha’s rank. It does
take a long time to carefully observe and learn from nature to
realize its mysteries.
