Silent Spaces in my mind

While meditating today I observed the energy centers in the spine clearly. A friend suddenly called after many days, so had to break the meditation and talk to her. By the time I got up, there was a sense of gentle pressure in between the eyebrows and slightly above. After having dinner, I went out for a walk to the roadside Pan shop (Indian betel leaf). The entire lane in my area is lined by tall trees. In the gentle breeze and shadows falling on me. suddenly a sense of powerful silence overcame me. As if my body and the entire area got enveloped by a sense of sacredness & other worldliness. The brain was almost silent, watching intently inwardly & outside - no thoughts ! Its an inexplicable state of mind, impossible to convey in words !! The pressure in between the eyebrows went a little deeper up to an inch perhaps and then gave way to a sense of silent euphoria. I could sense the spinal meridian coming up to the centre of the brain and to the point between the eyebrows and then lower even up to the tip of the nose - a strange feeling of pleasure - an intoxication overcoming me. Reaching the shop, the area had some traffic, cars & scooters zipping past me while I walked on the sidewalk. Still, the mind was undisturbed - not registering any noise. I felt as if I staggered slightly while paying the shopkeeper for the sweet paan. Body was as if in slow motion. He looked at me and probably thought I was drunk. But how would he know - drunk with what ? The state of being is so powerful that I can ask for anything - and it would be granted to me. But I dont feel like anything. The feeling is that of absolute contentment as I observe these silent spaces in my mind. I remembered my Guru's words uttered years back one winter evening, years ago as I sat near his feet - "People think that superconscinousness is somewhere up there. Superconscinousness doesnt come out of the sky, it is always around you. You just have to be receptive enough to enter it...."
