→Silence and Progress
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 to take up the sadhana. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/peace#p7</ref>
== Identification with the Divine ==
It is in the silence of complete identification with the Divine that true understanding is obtained. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/silence#p24</ref>
In peace and inner silence you will more and more become conscious of the constant Presence. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/peace#p18</ref>
None can say to the Divine, "I have known Thee", and yet all carry Him in themselves, and in the silence of their soul can hear the echo of the Divine's voice. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/relationship-with-the-divine#p6</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>
Feeling alone in the midst of human beings is the sign that you are beginning to feel the need to find in your own being contact with the Divine Presence. So you must concentrate in silence and try to enter deep within to discover the Divine Presence in the depths of your consciousness, beyond all mental activity.
