http://www.puresilence.org/written_word.htm"This silence, this moment,

every moment, if it's genuinely inside you, brings what you need.

There's nothing to believe. Only when I stopped believing in myself

did I come into this beauty. Sit quietly, and listen for a voice that

will say, 'Be more silent.' Die and be quiet. Quietness is the surest

sign that you've died. Your old life was a frantic running from

silence. Move outside the tangle of fear-thinking. Live in silence."

Rumi"Be quiet in your mind, quiet in your senses, and also quiet in

your body. Then, when all these are quiet, don't do anything. In that

state truth will reveal itself to you. It will appear in front of you

and ask," what do you want?" Kabir"Empty yourself of everything. Let

the mind rest at peace. The ten thousand things rise and fall while

the Self watches their return. They grow and flourish and then return

to the source. Returning to the source is stillness, which is the way

of nature." Lao Tzu"Things that are real are given and received in

Silence. God has been everlastingly working in Silence, unobserved,

unheard, except by those who experience His Infinite Silence."Meher

Baba"Be still, and know that I am (God)."Psalm 46:10"Thought comes to

an end. Then there is that sense of absolute silence in the brain. All

the movement of thought has ended."J. Krishnamurti"There is a silence

into which the world cannot intrude. There is an ancient peace you

carry in your heart and have not lost."A Course in Miracles"What

exists in truth is the Self alone. The self is that where there is

absolutely no "I" thought. That is called Silence. The Self itself is

the world; the Self itself is "I"; the Self itself is God."Ramana

Maharshi"No particular thought can be mind's natural state, only

silence. Not the idea of silence, but silence itself. When the mind

is in its natural state, it reverts to silence spontaneously after

every experience, or, rather, every experience happens against the

background of silence."Nisargadatta Maharaj"Whenever we moderns pause

for a moment, and enter the silence, and listen very carefully, the

glimmer of our deepest nature begins to shine forth, and we are

introduced to the mysteries of the deep, the call of the within, the

infinite radiance of a splendor that time and space forgot"Ken

Wilber"There is nothing mind can do that cannot be better done in the

mind's immobility and thought-free stillness.When mind is still, then

truth gets her chance to be heard in the purity of the silence."Sri

Aurobindo
