"There is in all things an inexhaustible sweetness and purity, a silence that is a fount of action and joy. It rises up in wordless gentleness and flows out to me from the unseen roots of all created being, welcoming me tenderly, saluting me with indescribable humility."
- Thomas Merton
God is silence. Beyond language and thought, beyond reason and concept, silence shines eternally. Listen with the ears of your heart and you can hear it everywhere.
Everything arises from silence and dissolves back into silence. Silence is woven in the gap between thoughts and words, creates music by existing between the notes, pervades all forms as the emptiness that fills every atom.
As the very core of your being, silence is the source of life and love, of joy and comfort and peace. The infinite perfection of the Self is the abiding, unchanging, impersonal silence from which unconditional love overflows and celebrates. Truly, silence is the very form of Brahman.
The greatest teaching is silence.The Guru’s silence effortlessly bestows the grace of liberation and the gift of immortality.
Totally and unconditionally surrender to this silence and all your suffering will cease.
“Tranquility in the form of supreme silence is supreme bliss, the happiness of liberation. The radiance of consciousness-bliss in the form of one awareness shining equally within and without is the supreme, primal reality whose form is silence. Through resting silently in being-consciousness, the life of perfect bliss can be attained at all times and in all states in this very world and in this very body.” Bhagawan Sri Ramana Maharishi.
“Silence is the ultimate reality and everything in this world exists through silence. This means, literally, going deep inside yourself to the dwelling where nothing is happening; this place transcends time and space.That is our real home and the place to which we actually belong. In this state, there is only deep silence - there is no good, no bad and no state of trying to achieve anything. It is a state of pure being. The ultimate freedom is to reach this state of deep silence in which you transcend your body, your affairs and the universe.” Robert Adams
