Go Into Silence - Swami Sivanada

Go Into Silence

Silence is Peace.

Silence is Brahman or the Absolute.

Ayam Atma Santah - This Atman is Silence.

Behind all noises and sounds is Silence thy innermost Soul.

Silence is thy real Name.

Silence strengthens thought-power.

Silence is intuitive experience.

Silence helps the intuitional Self to express itself.

To go into Silence is to become God.

Enter into Silence

And become one with the Supreme Soul.

-----------

In silence there is God realisation. 

Silence is the peace
 that passes understanding samadhi (the superconscious state).

Train yourself to enter a state of ceaseless meditation.
 Strive diligently, patiently and with genuine humility to attain wisdom.
  
Earnest aspiration and sincerity of purpose are 
the most precious assets to the seeker after truth. 

Silence conserves energy and gives peace and strength.
 You can amass inexhaustible spiritual wealth in silence.

------------

Purify the mind and meditate. 

Be still and know that you are God. 
Calm the mind. Silence the bubbling thoughts and surging emotions. 

Plunge deep into the innermost recess of your heart 
and enjoy the magnanimous Silence.

Mysterious is this Silence.

Enter into Silence. Know that Silence. Become Silence itself. 

Become a Maha Mouni (a great Sage of silence)

You are a Jivanmukta or liberated Sage now.
