SILENCE:
To listen to the silence, wherever you are, is an easy and direct way of becoming present. The transformation of human consciousness is a shift from time to presence, from thinking to pure consciousness.
Presence is needed to become aware of the beauty, the majesty, the sacredness of nature - the mind needs to be still.
~ Eckhart Tolle ~
 

Practice the art of silence. When tigers of worries, sickness, and death are chasing you, you’re only sanctuary is the inner temple of silence. The spiritually deep man lives day and night, in a calm interior silence. Into which neither menacing worries nor even the crash of colliding worlds csn intrude. Those who enter the temple of silence are able to commune with other God-bent souls; they comprehend the conversation of flowers and of all living creatures.

The more you are silent the more happiness you will find. What joy awaits discovery of the silence behind the portals of your mind, no human tongue can tell. But you must convince yourself; you must meditate and create that environment. Those who deeply meditate feel wonderful in being quiet. This stillness within should be maintained even when in the company of other people. What you learn in meditation practice in activity conversation; let no one dislodge you from that calm state. Hold on to your peace.

When you meet people do not become affected by their state of consciousness be one with those who are ever singing of God. Remain aloof from those reveal undesirable qualities. Be with people in silence don’t spend precious time and energy in idle talk. Stay in silence, in work, in silence. God loves silence. Even when death comes, maintain your silence, in communion with God. Depart from the body, saying I am a king of immortality sitting on the throne of silence.

~ Paramahansa Yogananda
