don't say a word

between the thought and execution, there is silence.
call it absence.
its a space where there is no action and no thought.
its a space beyond the action, beyond the thought.

is it contemplation? no, it's just nothing.

silence seeds detachment. it clears the mind.

when everything else disappears, there is nothingness.

if it's nothingness, can one feel it?
nothingness is as tangible as anything else.

one can feel a thing when one is aware of its existence. by that law, one can feel nothingness. one can touch nothingness. it can wrap one. one can taste it. one can hear it. with a bit of effort one can see it.

the moment one tried to sense nothingness, a thing gets added to it, thus bringing it to an end.

so seeing, feeling nothingness is an art in itself.
simply put, if one wants to experience nothingness, one has to dissolve oneself before touching it.

to experience nothingness, one has to become nothing. the self has to disappear.

it's not just the ego, the basic awareness of an entity called 'I' has to subside.

does it take effort? hell lot of effort. in which direction, in a direction of not making an effort.
weird. yes, but unless the mind and body are in absolute effortless, purposeless existence, one can not experience nothingness.

by the way, why experience nothingness at all?
there is actually no need.

nothingness is the most beautiful thing one can ever see, while being alive.

when i speak to a person, talk about any of this - i feel so empty. the worst part is i forget what i spoke. (in fact i forget everything i say)

terrible. but the saving grace is i am good at saying, "sorry, i forgot."
