Silence.

There is another kind of silence to
DC cultivated besides that Of the
tongue as regards others. I mean
silence as regards ones self.
not permitting it to dwell overmuch
or what we have heard or said, not
indulging in the phantasmagoria Of
picture thoughts, whether of the past
or future. Be sure that you have
made no small progress in the spirit
ual life when you can control your
imagination, so as to fix il on the
duty and occupation actually existing,
to the exclusion Of the crowd of
thoughts which are perpetually sweep
Ing across the mind. No doubt you
cannot prevent those thoughts from
arising. but you can prevent yourself
from dwelling on them: you can put
them aside. you can check the self
ccmplacency. or irritation. which feed
them. and you will attain that spirit
Of inward silence which draws .
into close intercourse with God.-Jean
