Silence, silence, silence.
\nSilence awakens the sleeping seeker in me.
\nSilence enlightens the aspiring seeker in me.
\nSilence fulfils the self-giving seeker in me. Silence, silence, silence.<\/div>\n

Sri Chinmoy<\/a>. (from Compassion-Sea And Satisfaction-Waves<\/em>)<\/span><\/p>\n

Silence is not silent.
\nSilence speaks.
\nIt speaks most eloquently.
\nSilence is not still.
\nSilence leads.
\nIt leads most perfectly.<\/div>\n

\u00a0Sri Chinmoy (from Sound Becomes, Silence Is<\/em>)<\/span><\/p>\n

Silence is wisdom,
\nSilence is truth,
\nSilence is the beauty and fragrance
\nOf Heaven.<\/div>\n

Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, Part 42<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

What you can do:
\nYou can criticise silence,
\nYou can ignore silence.
\nWhat you cannot do:
\nYou cannot sit even one fleeting minute
\nIn silence.
\nYet one day
\nIt is you and you alone
\nWho will marry silence
\nAnd become inseparably one
\nWith silence-sky.<\/div>\n

Sri Chinmoy (The Wings Of Light, Part 14<\/em>)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Silence
\nSpeaks the truth.
\nSilence
\nCan never be misquoted.<\/div>\n

Quotes on Silence by Sri Chinmoy<\/h3>\n

Silence, silence, silence. Silence awakens the sleeping seeker in me. Silence enlightens the aspiring seeker in me. Silence fulfils the self-giving seeker in me. Silence, silence, silence.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sri Chinmoy, Compassion-sea and satisfaction-waves<\/em><\/a>, Agni Press, 1992<\/span><\/p>\n

“An ordinary man thinks either that silence cannot be achieved or that it is of no avail. But a seeker knows that silence can be achieved on the strength of his inner cry. He also knows that silence is of tremendous importance, for without silence we cannot see the face of Truth or grow into the very image of Truth and Light. Silence is within but we have to discover it. Unless and until we discover our inner silence, we cannot feel that we are of God and for God. Inner silence is not just the absence of thoughts. No! Silence is the blossoming of our indomitable inner will. Silence is our inner wisdom-light. This wisdom-light is our conscious and constant surrender to the Will of our Inner Pilot, who inspires us, encourages us and guides us to the Shores of the Golden Beyond. “<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
