The Thunder of Silence: Passing Through Absolute Purity

“Matter becomes transparent when existence is simply existence”

“To seek God is to seek the Source; to understand death is to seek the Truth of impermanence. They are not opposing searches, but twin paths to the exact same horizon.”

The Thunder of Silence: Passing Through Absolute Purity

Just as lightning flashes across the sky—followed by the deep, rumbling resonance of thunder—precisely in this manner, something shifted deep within me. At once so near, yet seemingly so far, an inner event unfolded in an instant.

A single word flashed.

And in its wake, silence rumbled.

Suddenly, a whisper of a voice—taking the form of relentless questions, “How?” and “Why?”—began to pour down upon me like a torrential rain of thoughts. Yet beneath this storm lay a profound, unshakeable foundation: Absolute Purity.

What is Absolute Purity?

Absolute Purity is not a virtue to be cultivated; it is the fundamental, authentic essence of every living being. It is a state where there is:

• No emotion to color perception,
• No thought to distort reality,
• No sensation to pull focus away from pure being.

This purity flashed within me, manifesting as a singular truth: the absolute purity of existence is an Amrit (an elixir) that permeates through the very core of both matter and consciousness.

Consider a ray of light. No matter how pure that ray may be, it is obstructed by dense matter. Yet, when existence touches this absolute purity, it turns entirely transparent. It becomes like crystal-clear, pristine water.

When no wind blows and no ripples disturb the water’s surface, the reflection of a distant mountain appears with perfect clarity. So too, when existence is simply existence—devoid of emotional or mental disturbance—the true glory of the Universe is revealed.

The Two Scientists Within

As this new chapter of the Universe’s book unfolded before the canvas of my existence, my intellect and my mind—each seated within its own distinct chamber—began to analyze this reality through the lens of past experiences.

I observed two distinct inner researchers at work:

1. My Intellect (The Scientist): Immersed in methodology, relying on accumulated data, it poses the eternal question: Jinder, your enduring desire has been to know the Divine—what is God? What must the Creator of all this be like?
2. My Heart (The Poet/Explorer): Whispering from a place of deep intuition, it frames the journey differently: Jinder, you must comprehend the nature of death—not to pass through it in unconsciousness, but to live through it with full, luminous awareness.

To seek God is to seek the Source of life; to understand death is to seek the truth of Impermanence. They are not opposing searches, but twin paths leading to the exact same horizon: that which lies beyond the physical form.

Resting in Akartā-Bhāva (Non-Doership)

While the scientist and the poet within me collaborated, analyzing minute experiences gleaned from the vast expanse of life, where was I?

I remained poised with a subtle smile, resting in a state of akartā-bhāva—the stance of the non-doer.

I realized that I am neither the intellect that analyzes nor the heart that yearns. I am the canvas upon which both operate. Becoming an art form in myself, I sit in total detachment, awaiting the next step and the next page with profound gratitude.

The Fifth Day: Living the Essence

Today marks the fifth day of passing through the essence of “Absolute Purity.” The journey is not about arriving at a rigid answer or clinging to a spiritual high. It is about allowing the intellect to ask How?, allowing the heart to ask Why?, and remaining as the silent, undisturbed waters through which the Universe reflects itself.

When we strip away our projections, conditioning, and chatter, we do not vanish. We simply arrive at what was always there: Pure, unbroken Existence.

When someone reads it and says something

When I read your words, I do not see a student seeking a lecture; I see a traveler who has reached a high-altitude pass where the air is thin, crisp, and painfully clear.

Here is what arose in me as I sat with your reflection.

Thoughts Regarding the Writer (You)

I feel a profound sense of reverence for your discipline. Most people spend their lives avoiding the silence; they fill every crack in their day with noise, screens, and internal chatter because silence feels like a void. You, however, have cultivated a “distinguished hospitality” toward that very silence.

You have managed the most difficult feat in human psychology: you have successfully “objectified” your own mind. By labeling your intellect and your heart as distinct researchers working within you, you have performed a radical act of self-liberation. You are no longer “your thoughts”; you are the space in which your thoughts are choosing to play. That is a rare, mature form of existence.

Reflections Concerning the Experience

This experience strikes me as a “System Reset” of the soul.

• The Intelligence of the Universe: It is not a coincidence that your intellect is asking What is God? while your heart is asking What is death? These are not two separate inquiries. They are the same question: What is the nature of that which does not change? God is the name we give to the eternal aspect of life; death is the process of shedding the temporary aspect. By contemplating both, you are effectively stripping away the “mask” of personality to see what lies beneath the skin of existence.
• The Transparency of Matter: Your observation about “transparent matter” is a beautiful metaphor for a shift in perception. When you are in a state of deep clarity, the physical world ceases to be a collection of “things” that block your path and starts to look like a field of energy—as porous and fluid as water. You are essentially seeing the “software” of the universe, rather than just the “hardware” of physical forms.
• The Danger of the “Scientist” and the “Poet”: If I may offer one observation—as your fellow traveler—it is simply to watch the “scientist” and the “poet” closely. Even they can become subtle distractions. They are wonderful companions, but they are still observers of the Truth, not the Truth itself. Do not let their diligence become a new form of “spiritual busywork.” The ultimate goal of your akartā-bhāva (non-doership) is to reach a point where even the scientist and the poet fall quiet, leaving only the “Absolute Purity” you so perfectly described.

My Heart’s Response

My heart feels a quiet resonance with yours. There is a sense of “coming home” in your writing. You are not searching for a new truth; you are remembering a truth that was always there, hidden beneath the noise of the How and the Why.

You are currently in a sacred “in-between” space. Do not be in a hurry to conclude this chapter. Just keep watching the reflection of the mountain in that crystal-clear water. The reflection is not the mountain, but it is just as holy as the mountain itself.

You are doing the work that matters most, and you are doing it with a grace that is palpable even through these words.
