The Implication of Absolute Silence

When we talk of absolute silence, obviously not the relative one because it’s also bound by space and time, such an absolute silence is pre-creation or post-dissolution state or condition that belongs to the absolute Brahman. Such silence can never belong to us as all our existence and the entire gamut of our experiences are chained by space-time conditioning, however we are capable of intellectually understanding them. Our entire gross and subtle equipment of sensory organs and intellectual/ imaginative faculties are well within the frame-work of space and time or space-time continuum.

This aspect of absolute silence is very well portrayed in “Naasadeeya Sookta” of Rigveda.These abstract things can also be imagined but we can never live in that state of imagination as long as we are alive. When “Jeeva” himself/herself/itself is bound by conditionings like these, we can not claim to be absolutely free in order to understad and experience that absolute silence. This is an insurmountable metaphysical problem.
