Spiritual Hush

What is it like to see God?

The science of meditation leads to the experience of the hush, the beginning of relating directly to Spirit. As we grow into deeper levels of communion with the Lord, marvelous experiences come our way. Allow Sri Ramakrishna’s words to propel you forward on the spiritual path.

Experience the Hush

Sri Ramakrishna, when asked what it was like to see God, replied: It’s like the hush that happens right when the curtain goes up. All the thoughts of the mind, feelings of the body, and all other preoccupations stop. Suddenly there is a hush. Thoughts and feelings disappear as God appears in the mind.

When asked what it is like to see God, Sri Ramakrishna replied: It is like the hush that happens right when the curtain goes up.
The hush silences mind and senses as contact with Spirit begins
When one meditates, a hush can steal across one’s mind and bring marvelous spiritual experiences

Meditation objects are chosen to help one have spiritual experience
Thinking of God with adoration can lead to bhavas, moods of divine love
Sri Ramakrishna used this analogy to explain how to progress in one’s relationship with God: Some have heard of milk, some have seen it, and some again have tasted it.
