Silence: The Origin and the Ultimate End

Silence is the womb from which everything arises and the grave into which everything dissolves. It is the beginning, the middle, and the end of all existence. This is the fundamental truth behind creation, existence, and liberation. This silence is not merely the absence of sound but the substratum upon which the entire universe rests.

Chivality exists solely to help the seeker reach this ultimate silence through the practice of Silentation.

The Purpose of Silentation

Silentation is the practice of increasing the power of silence within you. This inner silence is so powerful that it can destroy thoughts, dissolve impressions, remove disturbances, and keep only silence intact.

This is why silence is compared to zero. Zero looks like nothing, but it holds unlimited potential. In the same way, silence appears empty, but it contains infinite power.

Silence is not emptiness — it is the infinite womb from which all existence arises and into which it dissolves.

Silence as the Highest Spiritual Practice

Among all spiritual practices like chanting, rituals, meditation, yoga, prayer, practising silence is the most pure and the highest. Why? Because everything else needs effort, words, or a method. But silence needs only your presence.

When you enter silence, you enter your original nature. This is not a journey outward but an inward dissolution, a homecoming to what you have always been beneath the layers of conditioning and mental noise.

A Lineage of Great Silent Masters

The tradition of silence begins with Lord Muruga, shines brilliantly through Lord Dakshinamurthy, is carried forward by Lord Dattatreya, deepened in modern times by Sri Ramana Maharshi, and finally brought into clarity and method in today's world by Chivaguru Satsri Subrahmanya Shiva Balan.

Chivality practitioners are truly blessed. They are part of a legendary lineage of silence, receiving the direct transmission of wisdom that has flowed unbroken through the ages.

Silence and Liberation

Mukti is not something you “get.” It is a state of silence within the mind. When the mind is free of thoughts, desires, attachments, and negativity, the seeker enters Mukti.

The whole universe is filled with silence. Behind every sound, every movement, every thought, there is a background of silence holding everything together. The all-pervading divine energy lives only in silence. You can connect to this energy not through rituals or methods, but only through silence.

The Eternal, Indestructible Nature of Silence

Silence can never be destroyed. It cannot be cut, burnt, washed away, or reduced. It is eternal and unchanging. This eternal silence is nothing but Chivam. Chivam is the ultimate nature of the human soul. Chivam is the final destination of Chivality.

In realising this silence within, the practitioner realises their own true nature as Chivam, thus completing the sacred journey.
