    Silence cannot make a master out of a fool.

    But he who weighs only purity in his scales,
    Who seeks the nature of the two worlds,
    He is a master.

    He harms no living thing.

    And yet it is not good conduct
    That helps you upon the way,
    Nor ritual, nor book learning,
    Nor withdrawal into the self,
    Nor deep meditation.
    None of these confers mastery or joy.

    O seeker!
    Rely on nothing
    Until you want nothing.

                       – Buddha


    Silence has been praised down the ages as one
    of the most important factors for inner
    transformation; but silence alone is neither
    enough nor beneficial. Silence alone can be
    tremendously harmful. Silence alone is a
    negative state, it can make you more dead than
    you are. It can destroy the joy of inner being, it
    can be an obstruction for the growth of a
    celebrating soul.

    Silence is beautiful only if it is rooted in
    awareness; if it is not rooted in awareness, then
    it is utterly empty. With awareness silence has a
    depth, a plenitude, a fulfillment, a contentment,
    an overflowing joy. With awareness silence
    blooms, releases great fragrance; without
    awareness the silence is utterly empty and dark,
    dismal, sad...
