Silence is the background on which the game of life is played. If you are able to understand silence, you will be able to understand life.
It is said that silence heals all the wounds inflicted by the mind on the soul. Mind is a very simple mechanism; it knows only how to dream and how to suffer in the process of making that dream a reality. Silence is the companion with whom you can just be yourself.
Silence doesn’t question, doesn’t judge, doesn’t criticize, doesn’t fight, and doesn’t insult. The only purpose of silence is to help you reflect on life so that you can understand it better. Silence is the ultimate teacher of life. The best teachers of the world can only lead you to silence.

Meditation helps you to understand the underlying purpose of your thoughts; it helps you to know the motive of your actions. It also makes way for simple appreciation of life and all its intricate functions.
Music is another way of appreciating and understanding silence. This might sound contradicting but those who have explored the depths of music understand that the most beautiful quality of music is not the sound; rather it is the silence that is created in between two sounds. There is only one purpose of music; it is to glorify silence.
There are numerous other methods to explore silence. Give yourself a chance to experience your inner silence. You will never be the same again.
