The Power of Silence ~ Nisargadatta’s quotes on silence
Watch the mind and keep it silent
Whatever you may have to do, watch your mind. Also you must have moments of complete inner peace and quiet, when your mind is absolutely still. If you miss it, you miss the entire thing. If you do not, the silence of the mind will dissolve and absorb all else.”
Look between the thoughts
“It has nothing to do with effort. Just turn away, look between the thoughts, rather than at the thoughts. When you happen to walk in a crowd, you do not fight every man you meet, you just find your way between. When you fight, you invite a fight. But when you do not resist, you meet no resistance. When you refuse to play the game, you are out of it.”
Silence is the natural state of the mind
“No particular thought can be mind’s natural state, only silence. Not the idea of silence, but silence itself. When the mind is in its natural state, it reverts to silence spontaneously after every experience, or, rather, every experience happens against the background of silence.”
Keep the mind quiet and silent
“To go beyond the mind, you must be silent and quiet. Peace and silence, silence and peace – this is the way beyond. Stop asking questions
In peace and silence you grow
In peace and silence, the skin of the “I” dissolves and the inner and the outer become one.”
Realize your Self as the witness
“Your hope lies in keeping silent in your mind and quiet in your heart. Realized people are very quiet. You must realize yourself as the immovable behind and beyond the movable, the silent witness of all that happens.”
Quotes are from the book “I Am That”
You must realize yourself as the immovable behind and beyond the movable, the silent witness of all that happens.
🌺 Peace, Love, Harmony
