“I try to hide you With the silence But, my eyes Say the unsaid words and Speak in the loudest volume. In your hesitation, I found my answers. In your silence, I found my answers. Sometimes, I laugh at myself So much that The tears roll down and Reach to my cracked lips. I try to hide you With the silence But, my eyes Say the unsaid words and Speak in the loudest volume.”

“At any point in time – it is the state of your attention that defines your level of existence as human beings. In your waking state – Flowing Attention trapped in thoughts make you a private person. In your sleeping state – Still Attention free from thoughts make you an universal perceiver. In your natural state – Absolute Attention as it is naturally returns to its source and make you the peaceful pure presence. However in reality – only supreme source exists in all the above mentioned states.”

“[T]here is another side to this Christian story, one that is worlds away from the bookish monks and careful copyists of legend. It is a far less glorious tale of how some philosophers were beaten, tortured, interrogated and exiled and their beliefs forbidden; it is a story of how intellectuals set light to their own libraries in fear. And it is above all a story that is told by absences: of how literature lost its liberty; how certain topics dropped from philosophical debate – and then started to vanish from the pages of history. It is a story of silence.”
