The Silence of the Mind

WINNER of the INTERNATIONAL BOOK AWARDS 2012 in the Poetry Inspirational category FINALIST in the INTERNATIONAL BOOK AWARDS 2012 in the Spirituality General category     A practical book on meditation and enlightenment, a must read for any spiritual seeker. A more poetic Eckhart Tolle; Kahlil Gibran meets Krishnamurti. Ilie Cioaras message is original and unique, as he never travelled to India and never belonged to any traditional school. By practicing the silence of the mind, through an all-encompassing attention, we discover and fulfill our innermost potential of becoming one with the divine spark that lies dormant within us.     "Having studied Ilie Cioaras inspired book, I am quite convinced that if its wonderfully wise contents are read diligently, and its prescribed practise is persistenly followed, then it will gradually and gracefully lead the fortunate reader to his or her own Self Realisation." Alan Jacobs, Poet and President of the Ramana Maharshi Foundation UK                                           The Power of Emptiness The mind is completely silent, we are attentive – a clear consciousness, / All meanings, boundaries disappear – us and the Infinite are "One"; / Practically, we have a new mind – always fresh. /  Being in the pause – I become infinite! / It separates two worlds. I leave the limited world / And enter Boundlessness, through total melting; / The whole being is calm – a constant sparkle. / There is no time, no space – just everlasting Eternity; / I move in direct contact with life, in a permanent present.       To read an extract visit www.thesilencebook.blogspot.com
