In silence lies the greatest receptivity. And in an immobile silence the vastest action is done.
== What = It is the silence of the mind and vital—silence implying here not only cessation of thoughts but a stillness of the mental and vital substance. There are varying degrees of depth of this stillness. One can have a quiet mind without being in a complete state of silence; one can carry on an activity without being disturbed. Certainly, peace, purity and silence can be felt in all material things—for the Divine Self is there in all. = Why = When one has learned to silence the mind at will and to concentrate it in receptive silence, then there will be no problem that cannot be solved, no mental difficulty whose solution cannot be found. Silence: the ideal condition for progress. It is in silence that the soul best expresses itself. It is in quietness, peace and silence that the spiritual forces act. In silence lies the source of the highest inspirations. In peace and silence the Eternal manifests. It is only in silence that anything great can be done. In peace and inner silence you will more and more become conscious of the constant Presence. In silence, the consciousness grows. It aspires to know You more and more perfectly.  In the silence of the heart, you will receive the command. It is out of this Silence that the Word which creates the worlds for ever proceeds; for the Word expresses that which is self-hidden in the Silence. == Knowing in Silence ? == The true way of knowing is above words and thoughts.
Truth is above mind; it Silence is the absence of all motion of thought or other vibration of activity. <ref>http://incarnateword.in silence that one can enter into communication with it./cwsa/29/quiet-and-calm#p13 </ref>
== Flow Quietness of Intuition mind doesn't mean entire silence. It means a mind free from disturbance and trouble, steady, light and glad so as to be open to the Force that will change the nature. <ref>http://incarnateword.in Silence ==/cwsa/29/silence#p18</ref>
In order to allow at all to the higher Light an adequate entry and force of working, it is necessary to acquire a power for quietude Silence of the nature, to compose, tranquillisemind, impress a controlled passivity peace or even an entire silence on calm in the mind are three things that are very close together and heart, life bring each other. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/quiet-and body.-calm#p19</ref>
It is true also that the freedom of this silence gives a possibility of a larger play of the intuitive being and admits with less obstruction and turmoil of mental groping and seizing the great intuitions, inspirations, revelations which emerge from within or descend from above.== Why Silence? ==
The cure Silence is not in trying to wake up the mind but in turning it, immobile and silent, upward towards the region of intuitive light, in a steady and quiet aspiration, and to wait ideal condition for progress. <ref>http://incarnateword.in /cwm/14/silence, for the light to come down and flood your brain which will, little by little, wake up to this influence and become capable of receiving and expressing the intuition.#p1</ref>
= How =If the calm and silence are perfectly established in the physical, then if inertia comes it is itself something quiet and unaggressive, not bringing such disturbances. But to get rid of inertia altogether a strong dynamic calm is needed. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/difficulties-of-the-physical-nature#p28</ref>
There is an active method by which When one looks has learned to see where silence the thoughts come from mind at will and finds they come not from oneself, but from outside the head as to concentrate it were; if one can detect them comingin receptive silence, thenthere will be no problem that cannot be solved, before they enter, they have to no mental difficulty whose solution cannot be thrown away altogetherfound. This is perhaps the most difficult way and not all can do it, but if it can be done it is the shortest and most powerful road to silence<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/12/mental-education#p22</ref>
Remain very quietIn order to allow at all to the higher Light an adequate entry and force of working, it is necessary to acquire a power for quietude of the nature, open your mind and your heart to Sri Aurobindo's influence and minecompose, tranquillise, withdraw deep into impress a controlled passivity or even an inner entire silence (which may be had in all circumstances)on mind and heart, call me from the depths of this '''silence''' life and you will see me standing there body. <ref>http://incarnateword.in /cwsa/22/the centre of your being.-ascent-towards-supermind#p26</ref>
The peace and silence must settle deep in, so deep that whatever comes from outside can only pass over the surface without troubling the settled calm within—it is good also that the meditation comes of itself. It means that the Yoga-Force is beginning == How to take up the sadhana.Practice Silence? ==
They sit down for a few hours in There is an active method by which one looks to see where the day thoughts come from and even at night and quiet their mindfinds they come not from oneself, but from outside the head as it were; if one can detect them coming, then, before they enter, they have to be thrown away altogether. This is for them perhaps the key to most difficult way and not all realisation—a quiet mind that knows how can do it, but if it can be done it is the shortest and most powerful road to keep quiet for hours together without rovingsilence. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/concentration-and-meditation#p24</ref>

To take When one find yourself near someone who has controlled his thought and achieved mental silence. One suddenly feels this step towards the new creation, one must learn to silence the mind coming down into oneself and rise above into Consciousnesssomething which was impossible half an hour earlier suddenly becomes a reality. <ref>http://incarnateword. in/cwm/15/22-january-1951#p16</ref>
The quietude and silence which you feel and the sense of happiness == Silence in it are indeed the very basis of successful sadhana.There is a greater power in silence than in words, however forceful. The greatest transformations have been achieved in the silence of concentration.Yoga ==
If you wish to have Yoga is not a truemental field, sincere experience upon the consciousness which you can build, you must know how has to be silentestablished is not a mental, logical or debating consciousness—it is even laid down by Yoga that unless and until the mind is stilled, otherwise you have nothing but what you fabricate yourselfincluding the intellectual or logical mind, which is equivalent and opens itself in quietude or silence to zeroa higher and deeper consciousness, vision and knowledge, sadhana cannot reach its goal. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/doubt-and-faith#p1</ref>
BesidesDescents of peace are good, for inner growth, I do not believe but an increasingly stable quietude and silence of the mind is something more valuable. When that words are necessary. In silence all our help is there then other things can come—usually one at its most powerfula time, light or strength and force or knowledge or ananda. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/the-inward-movement#p75</ref>
The solitude What one feels first [in the silence] is the pure existence of the self in the Divine has no doubt to be active as well as static , without any idea, characteristic or movement—existence pure and passive; but none who has not arrived at the silence simple, Sat Brahman—or else one feels that and motionless solitude of the eternal Self can have the free a vast peace and integral activity of wideness. Afterwards other things are felt such as Ananda, but always with this as the higher divine Naturebasis. For <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/experiences-of-the action is based on -self-the silence -one-and by -the silence it is free.-infinite#p7</ref>
In the perfect silence of the contemplation all widens to infinity, and in the perfect peace of that silence the Divine appears in the resplendent glory of His light. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/silence#p14</ref>
Every kind of realisation—infinite self, cosmic consciousness, the Mother's Presence, Light, Force, Ananda, Knowledge, Sachchidananda realisation, the different layers of consciousness up to the Supermind—all these can come in the silence which remains but ceases to be blank. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/emptiness-voidness-blankness-and-silence#p37</ref>
