Silence... Oh! It is better to practise it than to talk about it. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/10/aphorism-111-112#p4</ref>
 
=== Observing Thoughts, Not Throwing Them Back ===
To silence the mind it is not enough to throw back each thought as it comes, that can only be a subordinate movement. One must get back from all thought and be separate from it, a silent consciousness observing the thoughts if they come, but not oneself thinking or identified with the thoughts. Thoughts must be felt as outside things altogether. It is then easier to reject thoughts or let them pass without their disturbing the quietude of the mind. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/interactions-with-others-and-the-practice-of-yoga#p99</ref>
