that Silence is Nothing.
Wisdom is Knowing that
Silence is Everything!
When we are silent, we think we are doing nothing. But this is not true. Why do we pay our security guard a salary to sit silently outside our house doing nothing? It is because in that silence, he can observe and catch the thief. We too need silence to observe a bigger thief – our own mind. Without silence, we will never be able to transcend the mind and the ego. We will never be able to overcome ignorance and realize the truth. Thus, the wise men of the world prescribe silence every day, preferably at the same time for us to reach that state of consciousness so that we can awaken our true self within. Without silence, we will just live and die in this world of illusions, in this world of desires and cravings.
