A baby's finger grows silently. In silence do the flowers bloom. The rays of light strike the earth without a sound.
All powers subtle and intangible remain silent.
A fetus grows silently, listening to mother's heartbeat. In silence do we think our thoughts before they become words and action. All my life I had aspired to take a vow of silence. I did not think it was possible while traveling around in the western world. It has been very fulfilling to see that many of you came and sat with me in silent meditation.
