The Principle of Evil Uttarpara Speech There are two great forces in the universe, silence and speech.
Silence prepares, speech creates.
Silence acts, speech gives the impulse to action. Silence compels, speech persuades. Therefore it is said that in History it is always the unexpected that happens. But it would not be the unexpected if men could turn their eyes from superficies and look into substance, if they accustomed themselves to put aside appearances and penetrate beyond them to the secret and disguised reality, if they ceased listening to the noise of life and listened rather to its silence. But when the thought flows without the resumption of the inbreathing and outbreathing, then the Prana is truly conquered.
