-Helen Keller
Silence is the goal of all answers. If an answer does not silence the mind, it is no answer.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Now you worship His Form, you repeat His name; ignoring His orders. Without practicing the discipline laid down by Rama to purify the mind, all else is mere show, empty rituals.
Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.
-Steven Kloves
Music is pleasing not only because of the sound but because of the silence that is in it: without the alternation of sound and silence there would be no rhythm.
-Thomas Merton
