Muni || मुनि [1] "He who is silent." Related to mauna, which means "sacred silence" or "meditation." The Sanskrit term may be used for a sage, or sadhu, who has made a vow of complete silence or who speaks only exceptionally. Their silence is part of their search for stillness of mind. [2] Someone who is naturally attracted to a life of spiritual desire and has no longing for money, home, family or status. [3] Someone who is constantly committed to exploring the mysteries of nature, and examining the real nature of life through the purification of the self. Somewhere between an ordinary person and a saint who has realized truths and gained eternal knowledge.
