The life of an older sister who found salvation through silence..#viral #viralvideo #trending #reels#youtube
Transcript:
(00:02) Arunachala Shiva, I have been in complete silence for almost two days, but I received a phone call today. I mean, I do talk on the phone for two hours a day; anyone can call between 5:00 and 7:00 in the evening. I don’t talk at other times, but I do talk between 5:00 and 7:00. So, I got a call from Vijayawada.
(00:26) I won't mention her name; she is 35 years old. The things her father said and the conversation I had with her made me want to create this video. I feel many people need to know this, so I am making this video. The thing is, every person on this earth wants to be happy. No one ever wishes to cry or suffer.
(01:00) But, emotions like sorrow and joy enter a person's life. Are they coming on their own, or is the person inviting them? Actually, the person is inviting them. They don't really exist; the person is suddenly inviting them, saying, "Come into my life, sorrow, come, I don't have sorrow in my life, you come.
(01:23) " I understood this after hearing the words of that father and daughter. I won't mention her name to avoid any trouble, but she is from Vijayawada and comes from a very good family. It’s just her mother, father, and herself. She told me, "Brother, since I was a child, my father has been my hero. He had no bad habits.
(01:56) " We had a great bond; we were like best friends. My dad truly didn't have any bad habits. Until I reached the age of marriage, I believed my father had no bad habits at all. But after I reached marriageable age, I realized my dad had one bad habit: caste. I realized that was a big bad habit. She was a clever student since childhood; she studied well in school and college.
(02:28) She got a software job in Gurugram, Haryana. She was earning well , and with a 10 to 12-hour workday, she naturally shared many thoughts with a teammate. So, That gave them the opportunity and comfort to get to know each other's lives well. That is how they shared things. She maintained a very good relationship with that guy, and it eventually turned into love.
(03:05) I mean, they felt they knew each other’s lives completely and decided to get married. So, she came home for the holidays and told them. "Dad, I have fallen in love with a guy." It wasn't even like love in the movies or anything like that. We just talked about each other's opinions for a long time, understood each other's lives, understood each other's situations, and understood each other's status.
(03:30) So we felt it would be great to lead our lives together. When she asked her father, "I want to marry him, what do you say?", naturally, her father, who has strong caste feelings, told her, " Don't keep such things in your mind." She fought for it, she fought for many days, but when she told her father, he blackmailed her.
(03:57) "If you don't marry who we say, your mother and I will both die." Meaning, she had no other option, so she got married. She married the person her father chose for her. So, " Everything is fine, my daughter's life will go on very happily," her father thought. They say the wedding was very grand in Vijayawada; he thought it would be great since they were well-known and from our own caste, so he gave a lot of dowry and got her married.
(04:29) Plus, the boy had good businesses too, so he believed he would take good care of her; thinking his daughter wouldn't lack anything financially or socially, he was happy. The father felt relieved, thinking, "My daughter is settled, she will live happily now," but he realized later that was the last day of his happiness. That sister did what she had to—she got married without any objections and without causing any scene.
(04:55) After the wedding, from the very next day, she completely stopped talking to anyone. Complete silence. On one hand, she had wanted to marry the guy she liked, but that didn't happen. On the other hand, regarding the match her parents chose, she didn't know his status, his opinions, or even his character.
(05:19) So she thought, "How do I carry on now? How do I get rid of all these thoughts and burdens in my mind? How do I live here while bearing all this?" Fearing that opening her mouth might lead to arguments or hurtful words, she just stopped speaking altogether. But they say there wasn't a single argument, nowhere at all.
(05:42) She doesn't talk to anyone at her in-laws 'place; she doesn't talk to her husband, her mother-in-law, father-in-law, or even her parents. She went into a state of pure silence and carried on with her domestic life. She has children now, two kids. But she saw my videos recently—I have a video titled "Just Be, Experience the Witness State"—and after watching it, she found my number in the comments and called me, saying, "Brother, I felt like sharing the incidents that happened in my life with you." It has been a long time; it has
(06:16) been many years since I spoke. At most, I speak for a minute a day; I don't know what to talk about with anyone or what arguments it might lead to. Brother, what do we even talk about? Everyone is living based on someone else's preferences. People are forcing their will on others; no one on this earth is living based on their own will .
(06:37) One thing I understood, brother, after experiencing this life—after 38 years of life—I understood one thing. If this world is to be happy, if the earth is to run peacefully without fights, grudges, or revenge, it is enough if everyone stays silent, does their own work, and lives according to their own choices. If everyone lives their own life without involving themselves in others' affairs or imposing their thoughts on others, the world would be very peaceful, brother.
(07:07) This is what I understood. Even though I am living in this marriage against my will today, no one has a problem because of me. No one is complaining about me. She stopped talking; she stopped talking to everyone. It would be a problem if I spoke to one person and not another, but I stopped talking to everyone, brother.
(07:26) So, those who are sad are sad, and those who are happy are happy. Many say she is a great person who has entered the silence like Ramana Maharshi. There are also those who say, "This girl is too arrogant; she doesn't talk to anyone—not to her husband, not even to her children." I’ve remained silent about all these things, brother, but I felt so happy.
(07:46) At first, it felt painful that I couldn’t marry the person I once considered my husband. People suffer because they marry matches chosen by parents, and then don't talk to their parents or their spouses. I struggled with this initially, but now none of that remains, brother. This silence has done me so much good.
(08:08) So, for the world to be happy, if everyone stays quiet, does their own work, lives as they please, doesn't interfere in others ' lives, and doesn't force their own thoughts onto others—that is enough. I really liked what that sister said; many people need to hear this, as many face such situations. In fact, her father also came at night because she had talked for almost an hour and a half.
(08:47) When her father arrived, she was on the phone with me. When he saw who she was talking to and heard what she was saying, he spoke to me too. "Son, I don't know who you are, but my daughter has finally spoken after so many years. ""She usually says very little, so seeing her talk to someone like this made me very happy.
(09:09) ""But for some reason, I feel sad.""My daughter doesn't talk to me.""It's been many years; she still doesn't talk.""My daughter has two children.""I saw the happiness in my daughter's face when she got married, and that was my happiness too.""But now, it’s not there. What should I do?" he asked. " What can I tell him to do? Tell me, what could be done?""She is already married and now has two children.
(09:32) ""Can she just leave? She can't go to the person she liked.""Besides, can she abandon her parents? She can't. Can she leave her children? She can't.""If you had accepted her wishes back then, perhaps you would have been happy seeing them happy together.""But now, that opportunity is gone.""She is living her life, and she says she is happy in her silence.
(10:00) She told me she is very happy and fully embracing this silence. She felt bad about it at first , but now she is very happy, so there is no need for you to worry." After the three of us spoke—the conversation between the two of them and myself—I really felt so much joy today. Because the silence was born out of such pain —not being with the one she loved, marrying someone else, and not being able to blame or do anything to her parents.
(10:39) In such a situation, a chapter I completely disliked happened in my life. An unwanted marriage took place, and not knowing how to lead it, I ended up this way, slipping into silence. Now , that silence gives me an unparalleled sense of peace and tranquility. I don't know what to call it, but it feels wonderful, she said.
(11:02) Many people have surely faced such situations. So, I want to say one thing: whatever the situation or event in your life— especially marriage—Many people have heard of the Parvati Kalyanam in the Shiva Purana, which took place between Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. There is a teaching in it. Which marriage leads to liberation? One can attain liberation even through marriage.
(11:36) What kind of marriage is that? What kind of wedding? Regarding the wedding that grants liberation, in the Shiva Purana, Goddess Parvati performed penance for nearly 200 years to marry Lord Shiva. After Shiva finally agreed, during the wedding procession from Kailasa, Menaka Devi, Parvati's mother, saw Shiva in his naked form and was displeased.
(12:11) She refused, asking why she should accept a son-in-law who doesn't even wear clothes, questioning how she could welcome such a person into her family. Why did Shiva act that way? It means that before the wedding, all the gods ( the 330 million deities) approached Lord Parameshwara and asked: "Lord, you are going to marry Goddess Parvati.
(12:32) " Goddess Parvati is the daughter of Himavan. If you treat the Himalayas as a person or a deity, Himavan is the presiding deity of the entire Himalayan range. Goddess Parvati is the daughter of that very Himavan. If you marry her with complete sincerity of thought, word, and deed, liberation will be attained.
(12:57) Parvati, Menaka Devi, and Himavan would all attain liberation. Then where would the Himalayas exist? Where would the places for penance be? Which is a suitable place for a human to perform penance? Which place? Therefore, you must ruin your own wedding. The wedding must happen, but it should not be performed with complete sincerity of heart and mind.
(13:14) They should not attain liberation; the Himalayas must remain on this earth. So , you must spoil your wedding by appearing naked before Menaka Devi, they requested, and he did exactly that . Later, after the wedding, when he appeared in his true form, she was very happy. But because he had appeared naked earlier, the complete sincerity of their union was compromised.
(13:34) She did wash his feet; she washed her son-in-law's feet, she washed Shiva's feet. However, she did not perform the wedding with the wholehearted acceptance that he was truly her son-in-law. Therefore, Menaka Devi and Himavan did not attain liberation. Okay , what this means is, suppose a wedding is taking place; there is the bride, the groom, and the relatives of both sides.
(13:58) Do you know when they all truly attain liberation? Through marriage or a wedding, liberation comes when the bride is willing, the groom is willing, and everyone on both sides—the bride's relatives and the groom's relatives—are also in agreement. If everyone is in favor, then everyone attains liberation through that. So, that is what we need to understand from this.
(14:22) It is not about marrying just because one is of age, marrying without interest, marrying for dowry, marrying for children, or staying in a marriage for children despite a lack of love; or if parents disagree, or if only the mother agrees and the father doesn't, or vice-versa. Or, my wife doesn't like me.
(14:47) But I married her because I reached the right age. If you marry for such reasons, you will not attain liberation through that marriage. This is what needs to be understood. This is also what I understood from my sister's life . My sister led her life very intelligently; I truly have to take my hat off to her. So, I felt like talking about this silence today.
(15:07) Because many people face such situations. Because after all these years, for my sister to talk to me—How come she talked to me? I’m nothing great, I’m just like everyone else, a very ordinary person. But the fact that she spoke to me, that she could express the pain hidden for so long, maybe she found the space to do so—perhaps she felt, "It would be good to tell this guy.
(15:36) " So, I’ll say just one thing: embrace silence, speak as little as possible, and do the work you love. There shouldn't be any interference from others. Easily pick them up and set them aside. So, I got a call yesterday. The person on the other end was arguing, saying, "Brother, what you're saying is wrong.
(15:59) " I said, "Okay brother, I don't know," and they replied, "No, no, you know it, tell me. " So, when I told them what I knew, they said, "No, no, what you're saying is wrong." When I said, "I don't want to talk anymore," they insisted, "No, no, you have to talk." You see, there are people who just love to argue; keep such people aside.
(16:16) You just need your peace of mind and your silence. Whoever stands in the way of that, don't hesitate to set them aside. So, I ended that call completely. So, if they don't listen, and even if I say I don't know or if I do know, they still won't listen—what do you do with such people who keep arguing? The reason I’m making this video is that incidents like what happened in my sister's life might be happening in yours too.
(16:43) Whether it's in friendships, or between brothers and sisters, such incidents happen—involving anger, grudges, and revenge. Look, the main reason for all the negativity on this earth—whether it's anger, lust, or any other vice—is rooted in one thing : the feeling of "I" and "mine." If that goes away, everything else fades. In my sister’s case, after she got married, she went into complete silence .
(17:19) In that silence, the sense of "I" and "mine" vanished. She doesn't care about who is suffering or what they say. She isn't even aware of her own pain; she just went into that state. That silence led her there. She remains silent while doing her household chores—cooking, getting the kids ready for school, she does everything.
(17:38) But she doesn't break that silence, no matter how much people urge her to talk. She has no regrets or guilt. I know this because she spoke to me for about an hour and a half. So, through my sister, I am breaking my own silence today, though I don’t know when I’ll make another video. Perhaps only when I encounter such things, thinking that sharing these experiences might help uplift others' lives, that's when I feel like making one.
(18:12) The reason I’m sharing my sister’s life here is because Ramana Maharshi attained enlightenment through death. I attained it in the hospital. For my sister, it happened around her marriage. It happened after she got married. Meaning , through a marriage—an unwanted marriage—she stepped into silence. That silence has brought the sister to
(18:34) a state today where...even if she doesn't speak to anyone, she realizes she can be constantly happy; even if she doesn't speak to her children, her husband, her in-laws, or her parents, she realizes she can be happy and is experiencing that joy. The state that Ramana Maharshi experiences, the sister is experiencing that very same state today.
(18:53) The reason for making this video is that rather than just talking about Ramana Maharshi or the saints, in our contemporary society, there is such a person who, even after being married and living a household life for eight or nine years, has lived without speaking to anyone—isn't that great? Many people ask me, "We are married, we have children, we are living a family life, it's not possible to remain silent like that.
(19:18) " But for nine years, she hasn't spoken to anyone. However, every task is done exactly when it needs to be done. The sister cooks at the time for cooking. She cleans the house when it's time to clean. Since it’s time for worship, she cleans up. She packs lunch boxes for her husband and her children. Everything happens right on time, but there is no speech, only silence.
(19:40) For such a sister, one who has attained that state, to break her silence and speak to me today, what more could there be? I have felt as much joy today as I would have if Ramana Maharshi had spoken to me. Today , there are no bounds to my joy. Even offering a trillion would not be enough to match this joy.
(19:55) Because the sister might not have spoken to me. Based on listening to that video, she realized, "I am experiencing this state; this is the state within me, the state of the witness-consciousness." Recognizing that the state she experiences is called witness-consciousness, she listened to that video—the one titled "Be a Witness, Experience the State of Ramana Maharshi"—and thought, "Oh, I am experiencing this state!" Feeling joyful, she wanted to share it, and she recounted that incident from nine years ago regarding her unwanted marriage. By
(20:25) sharing it, the burden she felt was lifted. She said, "Brother, talking to you, my father speaking to you, and hearing a few words from you is enough, brother." What more could one ask for than this? So, I am saying the same thing: whether you are in family life, a renunciant, on a mountain, at home, or anywhere else, you can stay in that silence, you can hold onto that silence . No problem.
(20:50) If people leave you, let them leave; no problem. But do not lose your state. Once you understand that state and realize that the same state within you is in others, then it doesn't matter who comes or goes; you will not feel pain. The sister is experiencing this today, and that is the reason why I am making this video today.
(21:07) Oh man, I have found another Ramana Maharshi! There are many such people in this world. I keep saying that it happens to each person in a different place. For Ramana Maharshi, it happened on the mountain; at home, his enlightenment happened through the experience of death. For me, it happened in the hospital; for the sister, it happened at the time of her marriage; for someone else, it will happen somewhere else.
(21:23) It happens to each person in a different place; one cannot say. It is just that each person recognizes it at a different time. So, what greater proof could there be of the state that silence leads to? Whether you are married, single, or at the office, regardless of the situation , speak only when absolutely necessary; stay silent as much as possible.
(21:48) Because on this earth, for every suffering, relationship, or distortion —for all six passions—the one and only cause is speech. Only when you speak a word will the other person give a counter-response; if you don't like it, it brings pain, and if you like it, it gives pleasure. If you like it even more, lust arises; if you like it still more, delusion arises.
(22:09) Only when there is a word can distortion arise; if there is no speech, there is no distortion at all. This is the truth, cross-check it if you want. When the thought arises, speech follows; when speech arises, distortion follows. If there is no speech, but only silence, where could the distortions be? That is the Ramana state.
(22:29) That is the state she is experiencing today, and the state I am experiencing today. Therefore, no matter the situation—whether married or with children—she is an example of what state you can reach if you hold onto that silence. All the experiences that have occurred in her life over these many years. So, stay silent as much as possible—99%silence—and only speak that 1%to move your life forward.
(22:57) So, I wish for you to experience the same state that Ramana experienced and guide this life toward liberation. Alright, Arunachala Shiva.

(00:02) Arunachala Shiva, I have been in complete silence for almost two days, but I received a phone call today.

(12:11) She refused, asking why she should accept a son-in-law who doesn't even wear clothes, questioning how she could welcome such a person into her family. Why did Shiva act that way? It means that before the wedding, all the gods ( the 330 million deities) approached Lord Parameshwara and asked: "Lord, you are going to marry Goddess Parvati.
(12:32) " Goddess Parvati is the daughter of Himavan. If you treat the Himalayas as a person or a deity, Himavan is the presiding deity of the entire Himalayan range. Goddess Parvati is the daughter of that very Himavan. If you marry her with complete sincerity of thought, word, and deed, liberation will be attained.
(12:57) Parvati, Menaka Devi, and Himavan would all attain liberation. Then where would the Himalayas exist? Where would the places for penance be? Which is a suitable place for a human to perform penance? Which place? Therefore, you must ruin your own wedding. The wedding must happen, but it should not be performed with complete sincerity of heart and mind.
(13:14) They should not attain liberation; the Himalayas must remain on this earth. So , you must spoil your wedding by appearing naked before Menaka Devi, they requested, and he did exactly that . Later, after the wedding, when he appeared in his true form, she was very happy. But because he had appeared naked earlier, the complete sincerity of their union was compromised.
(13:34) She did wash his feet; she washed her son-in-law's feet, she washed Shiva's feet. However, she did not perform the wedding with the wholehearted acceptance that he was truly her son-in-law. Therefore, Menaka Devi and Himavan did not attain liberation. Okay , what this means is, suppose a wedding is taking place; there is the bride, the groom, and the relatives of both sides.
(13:58) Do you know when they all truly attain liberation? Through marriage or a wedding, liberation comes when the bride is willing, the groom is willing, and everyone on both sides—the bride's relatives and the groom's relatives—are also in agreement. If everyone is in favor, then everyone attains liberation through that. So, that is what we need to understand from this.
(14:22) It is not about marrying just because one is of age, marrying without interest, marrying for dowry, marrying for children, or staying in a marriage for children despite a lack of love; or if parents disagree, or if only the mother agrees and the father doesn't, or vice-versa. Or, my wife doesn't like me.
(14:47) But I married her because I reached the right age. If you marry for such reasons, you will not attain liberation through that marriage. This is what needs to be understood. This is also what I understood from my sister's life . My sister led her life very intelligently; I truly have to take my hat off to her. So, I felt like talking about this silence today.
(15:07) Because many people face such situations. Because after all these years, for my sister to talk to me—How come she talked to me? I’m nothing great, I’m just like everyone else, a very ordinary person. But the fact that she spoke to me, that she could express the pain hidden for so long, maybe she found the space to do so—perhaps she felt, "It would be good to tell this guy.
(15:36) " So, I’ll say just one thing: embrace silence, speak as little as possible, and do the work you love. There shouldn't be any interference from others. Easily pick them up and set them aside. So, I got a call yesterday. The person on the other end was arguing, saying, "Brother, what you're saying is wrong.
(15:59) " I said, "Okay brother, I don't know," and they replied, "No, no, you know it, tell me. " So, when I told them what I knew, they said, "No, no, what you're saying is wrong." When I said, "I don't want to talk anymore," they insisted, "No, no, you have to talk." You see, there are people who just love to argue; keep such people aside.
(16:16) You just need your peace of mind and your silence. Whoever stands in the way of that, don't hesitate to set them aside. So, I ended that call completely. So, if they don't listen, and even if I say I don't know or if I do know, they still won't listen—what do you do with such people who keep arguing? The reason I’m making this video is that incidents like what happened in my sister's life might be happening in yours too.
(16:43) Whether it's in friendships, or between brothers and sisters, such incidents happen—involving anger, grudges, and revenge. Look, the main reason for all the negativity on this earth—whether it's anger, lust, or any other vice—is rooted in one thing : the feeling of "I" and "mine." If that goes away, everything else fades. In my sister’s case, after she got married, she went into complete silence .
(17:19) In that silence, the sense of "I" and "mine" vanished. She doesn't care about who is suffering or what they say. She isn't even aware of her own pain; she just went into that state. That silence led her there. She remains silent while doing her household chores—cooking, getting the kids ready for school, she does everything.
(17:38) But she doesn't break that silence, no matter how much people urge her to talk. She has no regrets or guilt. I know this because she spoke to me for about an hour and a half. So, through my sister, I am breaking my own silence today, though I don’t know when I’ll make another video. Perhaps only when I encounter such things, thinking that sharing these experiences might help uplift others' lives, that's when I feel like making one.
(18:12) The reason I’m sharing my sister’s life here is because Ramana Maharshi attained enlightenment through death. I attained it in the hospital. For my sister, it happened around her marriage. It happened after she got married. Meaning , through a marriage—an unwanted marriage—she stepped into silence. That silence has brought the sister to
(18:34) a state today where...even if she doesn't speak to anyone, she realizes she can be constantly happy; even if she doesn't speak to her children, her husband, her in-laws, or her parents, she realizes she can be happy and is experiencing that joy. The state that Ramana Maharshi experiences, the sister is experiencing that very same state today.
(18:53) The reason for making this video is that rather than just talking about Ramana Maharshi or the saints, in our contemporary society, there is such a person who, even after being married and living a household life for eight or nine years, has lived without speaking to anyone—isn't that great? Many people ask me, "We are married, we have children, we are living a family life, it's not possible to remain silent like that.
(19:18) " But for nine years, she hasn't spoken to anyone. However, every task is done exactly when it needs to be done. The sister cooks at the time for cooking. She cleans the house when it's time to clean. Since it’s time for worship, she cleans up. She packs lunch boxes for her husband and her children. Everything happens right on time, but there is no speech, only silence.
(19:40) For such a sister, one who has attained that state, to break her silence and speak to me today, what more could there be? I have felt as much joy today as I would have if Ramana Maharshi had spoken to me. Today , there are no bounds to my joy. Even offering a trillion would not be enough to match this joy.
(19:55) Because the sister might not have spoken to me. Based on listening to that video, she realized, "I am experiencing this state; this is the state within me, the state of the witness-consciousness." Recognizing that the state she experiences is called witness-consciousness, she listened to that video—the one titled "Be a Witness, Experience the State of Ramana Maharshi"—and thought, "Oh, I am experiencing this state!" Feeling joyful, she wanted to share it, and she recounted that incident from nine years ago regarding her unwanted marriage. By
(20:25) sharing it, the burden she felt was lifted. She said, "Brother, talking to you, my father speaking to you, and hearing a few words from you is enough, brother." What more could one ask for than this? So, I am saying the same thing: whether you are in family life, a renunciant, on a mountain, at home, or anywhere else, you can stay in that silence, you can hold onto that silence . No problem.
(20:50) If people leave you, let them leave; no problem. But do not lose your state. Once you understand that state and realize that the same state within you is in others, then it doesn't matter who comes or goes; you will not feel pain. The sister is experiencing this today, and that is the reason why I am making this video today.
(21:07) Oh man, I have found another Ramana Maharshi! There are many such people in this world. I keep saying that it happens to each person in a different place. For Ramana Maharshi, it happened on the mountain; at home, his enlightenment happened through the experience of death. For me, it happened in the hospital; for the sister, it happened at the time of her marriage; for someone else, it will happen somewhere else.
(21:23) It happens to each person in a different place; one cannot say. It is just that each person recognizes it at a different time. So, what greater proof could there be of the state that silence leads to? Whether you are married, single, or at the office, regardless of the situation , speak only when absolutely necessary; stay silent as much as possible.
(21:48) Because on this earth, for every suffering, relationship, or distortion —for all six passions—the one and only cause is speech. Only when you speak a word will the other person give a counter-response; if you don't like it, it brings pain, and if you like it, it gives pleasure. If you like it even more, lust arises; if you like it still more, delusion arises.
(22:09) Only when there is a word can distortion arise; if there is no speech, there is no distortion at all. This is the truth, cross-check it if you want. When the thought arises, speech follows; when speech arises, distortion follows. If there is no speech, but only silence, where could the distortions be? That is the Ramana state.
(22:29) That is the state she is experiencing today, and the state I am experiencing today. Therefore, no matter the situation—whether married or with children—she is an example of what state you can reach if you hold onto that silence. All the experiences that have occurred in her life over these many years. So, stay silent as much as possible—99%silence—and only speak that 1%to move your life forward.
(22:57) So, I wish for you to experience the same state that Ramana experienced and guide this life toward liberation. Alright, Arunachala Shiva.
