== 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. Silence? = 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 Silence is the absence of all motion of thought or other vibration of activity. <ref>http://incarnateword.in Silence ==/cwsa/29/quiet-and-calm#p13 </ref>

The true way Quietness of knowing is above words mind doesn't mean entire silence. It means a mind free from disturbance and thoughtstrouble, steady, light and glad so as to be open to the Force that will change the nature. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/silence#p18</ref>

Truth is above Silence of the mind; it is , peace or calm in silence the mind are three things that one can enter into communication with itare very close together and bring each other.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/quiet-and-calm#p19</ref>

== Flow of Intuition in Why Silence ? ==

In order to allow at all to Silence is the higher Light an adequate entry and force of working, it is necessary to acquire a power ideal condition for quietude of the nature, to compose, tranquillise, impress a controlled passivity or even an entire progress. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/silence on mind and heart, life and body.#p1</ref>

It is true also that If the freedom of this calm and silence gives a possibility 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 larger play of the intuitive being and admits with less obstruction and turmoil strong dynamic calm is needed. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/difficulties-of mental groping and seizing -the great intuitions, inspirations, revelations which emerge from within or descend from above.-physical-nature#p28</ref>

The cure is not in trying When one has learned to wake up silence the mind but in turning it, immobile and silent, upward towards the region of intuitive light, in a steady and quiet aspiration, at will and to wait concentrate it in receptive silence, for the light to come down and flood your brain which then there willbe no problem that cannot be solved, little by little, wake up to this influence and become capable of receiving and expressing the intuitionno mental difficulty whose solution cannot be found. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/12/mental-education#p22</ref>

There is an active method by which one looks == How to see where the thoughts come from and finds 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 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.Practice Silence? ==

Remain very quiet, open your mind and your heart There is an active method by which one looks to Sri Aurobindo's influence see where the thoughts come from and minefinds they come not from oneself, but from outside the head as it were; if one can detect them coming, then, before they enter, withdraw deep into an inner silence (which may they have to be had in thrown away altogether. This is perhaps the most difficult way and not all circumstances)can do it, call me from but if it can be done it is the depths of this '''shortest and most powerful road to silence''' . <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/concentration-and you will see me standing there in the centre of your being.-meditation#p24</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 to take up the sadhana.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/peace#p7</ref>

They sit When one find yourself near someone who has controlled his thought and achieved mental silence. One suddenly feels this silence coming down for into oneself and something which was impossible half an hour earlier suddenly becomes a few hours in the day and even at night and quiet their mindreality. This is for them the key to all realisation—a quiet mind that knows how to keep quiet for hours together without roving<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/15/22-january-1951#p16</ref>

= In = Silence in Yoga ==

To take this step towards Yoga is not a mental field, the new creationconsciousness which has to be established is not a mental, one must learn to silence logical or debating consciousness—it is even laid down by Yoga that unless and until the mind is stilled, including the intellectual or logical mind , and rise above into Consciousnessopens itself in quietude or silence to a higher and deeper consciousness, vision and knowledge, sadhana cannot reach its goal. <ref>http://incarnateword. in/cwsa/28/doubt-and-faith#p1</ref>

The Descents of peace are good, but an increasingly stable quietude and silence which you feel and the sense of happiness in it are indeed the very basis of successful sadhanamind is something more valuable.There When that is there then other things can come—usually one at a greater power in silence than in wordstime, however forcefullight or strength and force or knowledge or ananda. <ref>http://incarnateword.

If you wish to have a trueWhat one feels first [in the silence] is the pure existence of the self, without any idea, sincere experience upon which you can buildcharacteristic or movement—existence pure and simple, you must know how to be silentSat Brahman—or else one feels that and a vast peace and wideness. Afterwards other things are felt such as Ananda, otherwise you have nothing but what you fabricate yourself, which is equivalent to zeroalways with this as the basis. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/experiences-of-the-self-the-one-and-the-infinite#p7</ref>

The solitude Every kind of the realisation—infinite self in , cosmic consciousness, the Divine has no doubt to be active as well as static and passive; but none who has not arrived at Mother's Presence, Light, Force, Ananda, Knowledge, Sachchidananda realisation, the silence and motionless solitude different layers of consciousness up to the eternal Self Supermind—all these can have come in the free and integral activity of the higher divine Naturesilence which remains but ceases to be blank. <ref>http://incarnateword.
