A sannyasin says: I have trouble talking. More and more.
IT COMES SOMETIMES, AND IT IS A GOOD SIGN. The real trouble is with people who go on talking and don't know what they are talking about and why. They go on talking because they cannot stop.
But if you become a little aware of the whole nonsense, and the trouble that goes on and on in the mind, ONCE YOU BECOME AWARE THAT THERE IS NOTHING TO SAY, that everything seems to be trivia, then you hesitate.
In the beginning it feels as though you are losing the capacity to communicate -- it is not so. In fact, PEOPLE TALK NOT TO COMMUNICATE, BUT TO AVOID COMMUNICATION. Soon you will be able to really communicate, mm? Just wait and don't force anything.
Things are going very well. DON'T BE WORRIED ABOUT THE SILENCE. One does because the whole society exists on talking, on language, and people who are very articulate in talking become very powerful in society -- leaders, scholars, politicians, writers. One soon becomes afraid that one is losing one's grip on language, but don't be worried. SILENCE IS THE GRIP ON GOD, and once you know what silence is, you have something to talk about.
ONCE YOU HAVE GONE DEEPER INTO SILENCE, then your words carry meaning for the first time. Then they are not just empty words, they are full of something of the beyond. They have a poetry to them, a dance... they carry your inner grace with them.
But just wait and don't force, because that will be very very destructive. IF YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE TALKING, DON'T -- don't say a single word that is not coming spontaneously. Don't be worried if people think you are going crazy. Accept it. If they think you have become dumb, accept it and enjoy your dumbness! LAUGH MORE AND TALK LESS!
