SILENCE

Silence: the ideal condition for progress.  

It is in Silence that true progress can be made.

It is only in silence that a true progress can be made; it is only in silence that one can rectify a wrong movement; it is only in silence that one can be of help to somebody else.

If you have found out a truth, or rectified a mistake in yourself, or made a progress, to speak or to write about it to anybody else than the Guru is to lose at once the truth or the progress.

A silent help seems to be more effective and sure, more constant and detailed.

In silence is the greatest respect.

In the silence of the heart, you will receive the command.

In the silence of our heart there is always peace and joy.
