[Guest guest]

As Ramana Maharshi always says

 

" Whatever is destined not to happen will not happen, try as you may.

Whatever is destined to happen will happen, do what you may to prevent it.

This is certain. The best course, therefore, is to remain silent. "

 

Ramana Maharshi speaks more about pure silence this way:

 

" 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. "

 

" The inner silence is self-surrender. And that is living without the sense

of ego. Solitude is in the mind of humanity. Silence is ever speaking; it is

the perennial flow of " language. " It is interrupted by speaking; for words

obstruct this mute language. Silence is permanent and benefits the whole of

humanity. . . . By silence, eloquence is meant. It is the best language.

There is a state when words cease and silence prevails. "

 

" There is Consciousness along with quietness in the mind; this is exactly

the state to be aimed at. "

 

" In samadhi there is only the feeling " I am " and no thoughts. The

experience " I am " is being still. " The Self is God. " I am " is God. All that

is required to realize the Self is to be still. "

 

samadhi is a state of silent absorption in the Self, in God, in Nothingness

of Mind itself, in Pure Silence
