“Each sentence as it is written is written to lead us to a place of silence. The silence that follows each sentence should endure as long as it has taken you to read the sentence. This silence is different from white space. Silence should fill your body, not simply remain on the page. Your body needs to experience the space between. Silence needs to mark you.”

“Still the mind by practising daily silence periods. The mind has to stop its constant chattering. And must fall silent. This does not mean you will not have thoughts arising in your mind. This means you must learn not to pick up worrisome, fearful, angry, anxious thoughts. And instead train your mind to think abundant, thankful, thoughts celebrating the now. When you are in the present moment, the mind is powerless. The mind, interestingly, can control you only when it is trapped in memories (often of pain, grief, guilt, anger) of the dead past or has raced into the unborn future (and is worrying and anxious). The mind really thrives only in the past or in the future. In the present, it holds no power. The secret to Happiness lies in training the mind to constantly be in the present moment.”

“If two deer meet in a jungle, they silently eat the grass or play. I am this... You did this... How dare you say that... All these arguments take place only when one of them is not a deer. And these arguments will reach no conclusion. They should either silently accept each other or silently walk away. Silence is the most natural thing in both the cases.”

“Peacock is dancing.” These words can’t show you the dance that I am seeing right now. They can only invoke your past memory when you had seen a peacock dancing. Words always keep you in the past or future. Only silence can let you enjoy the present.”
