Silence
Silence may be teeming with voices and darkness may be suffused with light. Hence, he who regards Space as empty will not apprehend the mighty life manifested in silence as the highest Word of Cosmos, nor the invisible as the manifest Eye of Cosmos. The law of Cosmos is inviolable, and even man has accepted the Voice of Silence. Where speech is meager, the voice of the heart affirms silence. Cosmos in silence makes manifest the language of the heart, and the Cosmic Voice may become the language of the heart, and the Cosmic Voice may become audible.
Sensitiveness and vigilence can aid us in giving ear to the Voice of Silence. The beauty of silence is expressed in all the higher manifestations of life.
Let us learn to harken to silence! The infinitude of Cosmos creates the manifestation of the Silence.
The transmission of thought is also a manifestation of Silence. We often use it. Before the consummation of the thought manifestation, We send the ray of Silence. The rays of Silence call forth those sacred pains in the Chalice.
(INF I, 80)
I advise silence in order not to ignite a number of centers, especially the heart. (H, 174)
Let us learn to coordinate the heart with silence. But this silence will not be emptiness; it will suffuse space with the synthesis of thought. Just as the prayer of the heart has no need of words, so the silence that is pregnant needs no formulas. Intense silence demands many cumulations of thought and benign desires. Thus, the heart, intensified by silence, replete as a dynamo, beats out the rhythm of the Universe, and personal desires are transmuted into the guiding Universal Will. Thus is cooperation with the distant worlds evolved. (H, 68)
But amidst attainment devote a time to silence of the spirit.
Then shall I approach thy inner being.
The seeds of the Great Silence leads to the knowledge of the Great Service ...
Brothers, in all thy beginnings, remember the time of silence.
Then art thou approached by the Messenger of Command.
And thus, understanding prayer and achievement,
Glorified by beauty, strongly embracing power in sacrifice,
Thou wilt attain the Temple. (LMG I, 360)
