Pranam Silence Makes You a More Powerful Communicator Another angle of idleness.
1 The more a man speaks, the less he is understood. – Abraham Lincoln In communicating, it’s been shown that words account for 10% of what’s expressed, vocal tone and pace 35%, and nonverbal communication a whopping 55%. Silence is a critical aspect of nonverbal communication. You can say a lot by saying nothing. 2. Allows you to think, breathe, listen and hold the attention of the listener. Nothing strengthens authority so much as silence. – Leonardo da Vinci When it’s your time to speak, pausing before you respond gives you some time to gather your thoughts, choose your words, and heighten the expectation of others about what you may be prepared to say. 3. Allows others to invest in your ideas. When you pause before responding to a direct question or after you have posed a question to the group or another team member, you allow others to process what you have said and consider their response. It gives everyone time to step back and reflect on how what’s been said affects them, their team and the organization. It also projects confidence on your part that you refuse to be rushed by circumstances. 4. Always seems longer than it is. In today’s world of instantaneous communication, we’re consistently bombarded with texts, email, and information that flows from a constant connection to the Internet. You’re probably saying 15 seconds doesn’t seem like a very long time because you’re right. But in today’s world of lightning-fast connections, it may seem like an eternity. 5. Results in others expressing themselves. Silence is golden when you can’t think of a good answer. – Muhammad Ali Very often when we see someone hesitating or uncomfortable, we will often rush in to “rescue them”. This is a noble sentiment but we lose the opportunity to use some positive leverage to encourage them to state their case. We do not purposely try to inflict any additional angst on their part, but you are just giving them the time and space to encourage their response to you. You are simply investing some time for them to provide their best perspectives to you. Relax. 6 Silence – defined here as an absence of speech or noise – has been generally ignored as a form of communication in OB because it represents inaction or non-behaviour. But it’s not necessarily inaction. Nor is silence, as many believe, a failure to communicate. It can, in fact, be powerful form of communication. It can mean someone is thinking or contemplating a response to a question. It can mean a person is anxious and fearful of speaking. It can signal agreement, dissent, frustration or anger. Silence is sometimes golden especially if opening your mouth can cost your job and good will. People will talk and that is something you have no control over, and their talk can sometimes get you into trouble if you choose to talk on. If you violate the golden rule of silence in the following areas, the adverse consequences of your speech will cause your career and reputation much damage. Below are some situations where your silence will keep your reputation and stakes guarded. Like Silence is a golden rule but not always. When required proper communication is also very essential. 7 For the elephant alone we cannot see its mouth. We can only see the mouth of an elephant when it is eating. Because its mouth is located under its trunk. If we want to speak with humility and respect we will speak with our hands over our mouths. But for the elephant it is naturally located. "Thumpi" means elephant, its hand is the trunk. We can only see its mouth when it picks up food and puts it in its mouth and lifts its trunk. The principle of this is that no matter how eloquent one is, one should speak only when necessary, where necessary without spilling the matter without arguing. It is good for us and others to keep our mouths shut at other times. Ganesha closes his mouth with his trunk to show that they are respectable than the respectable. (மௌனம் ஸர்வார்த்த சாதகம்). 8 दण्डो दमयतामस्मि नीतिरस्मि जिगीषताम् | मौनं चैवास्मि गुह्यानां ज्ञानं ज्ञानवतामहम् || 38|| Chap 10 daṇḍo damayatām asmi nītir asmi jigīṣhatām maunaṁ chaivāsmi guhyānāṁ jñānaṁ jñānavatām aham daṇḍaḥ <https://www.holy-bhagavad-gita.org/w/dandah>—punishment; damayatām <https://www.holy-bhagavad-gita.org/w/damayatam>—amongst means of preventing lawlessness; asmi <https://www.holy-bhagavad-gita.org/w/asmi>—I am; nītiḥ <https://www.holy-bhagavad-gita.org/w/nitih>—proper conduct; asmi <https://www.holy-bhagavad-gita.org/w/asmi>—I am; jigīṣhatām <https://www.holy-bhagavad-gita.org/w/jigishatam>—amongst those who seek victory; maunam <https://www.holy-bhagavad-gita.org/w/maunam>—silence; cha <https://www.holy-bhagavad-gita.org/w/cha>—and; eva <https://www.holy-bhagavad-gita.org/w/eva>—also; asmi <https://www.holy-bhagavad-gita.org/w/asmi>—I am; guhyānām <https://www.holy-bhagavad-gita.org/w/guhyanam>—amongst secrets; jñānam <https://www.holy-bhagavad-gita.org/w/jnanam>—wisdom; jñāna-vatām <https://www.holy-bhagavad-gita.org/w/jnana-vatam>—in the wise; aham <https://www.holy-bhagavad-gita.org/w/aham>—I dando damayatam asmi nitir asmi jigishatam maunam chaivasmi guhyanam jnanam jnanavatam aham *BG 10.38*: I am just punishment amongst means of preventing lawlessness, and proper conduct amongst those who seek victory. Amongst secrets I am silence, and in the wise I am their wisdom. 9 Hence communication in silence is the art of the nature when it is cool as well as wild as today we see in TURKEY.
