Changes

<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">When one has learned to </span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">'''silence'''</span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;"> </span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">the mind at will and to concentrate it in receptive </span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">'''silence'''</span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">, then there will be no problem that cannot be solved, no mental difficulty whose solution cannot be found.</span>

<div style="color:#000000;">Silence: the ideal condition for progress.</div>

<div style="color:#000000;">It is in silence that the soul best expresses itself.</div>

<div style="color:#000000;">It is in quietness, peace and silence that the spiritual forces act.</div>

<div style="color:#000000;">In silence lies the source of the highest inspirations.</div>

<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">In peace and </span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">'''silence'''</span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;"> </span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">the Eternal manifests.</span>

<div style="color:#000000;">It is only in silence that anything great can be done.</div>

<div style="color:#000000;">In peace and inner silence you will more and more become conscious of the constant Presence.</div>

<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">In silence, the consciousness grows. It aspires to know You more and more perfectly.</span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;"> </span>

<div style="color:#000000;">In the silence of the heart, you will receive the command.</div>

<div style="color:#000000;">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.</div>

== Knowing in Silence ==

<div style="color:#000000;">The true way of knowing is above words and thoughts.</div>

<div style="color:#000000;">Truth is above mind; it is in silence that one can enter into communication with it.</div>

<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">In order to allow at all to the higher Light an adequate entry and force of working,</span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;"> </span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">it is necessary to acquire a power for quietude of the nature, to compose, tranquillise, impress a controlled passivity or even an entire </span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">'''silence'''</span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;"> </span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">on mind and heart, life and body.</span>

<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">It is true also that the freedom of this </span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">'''silence'''</span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;"> </span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">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.</span>

<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">The cure 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 in </span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">'''silence'''</span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">, 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.</span>
