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 Silence is the absence of all motion of thought or other vibration of knowing is above words activity. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/quiet-and thoughts.-calm#p13 </ref>
Truth is above Quietness of mind; it is in 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 one can enter into communication with itwill change the nature. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/silence#p18</ref>
== Flow Silence of Intuition the mind, peace or calm in Silence ==the mind are three things that are very close together and bring each other. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/quiet-and-calm#p19</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 of the nature, to compose, tranquillise, impress a controlled passivity or even an entire silence on mind and heart, life and body.== Why Silence? ==
It Silence is true also that the freedom of this ideal condition for progress. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/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.#p1</ref>
The cure is not If the calm and silence are perfectly established in trying to wake up the mind but in turning physical, then if inertia comes it, immobile is itself something quiet and silentunaggressive, upward towards the region not bringing such disturbances. But to get rid of intuitive light, in inertia altogether a steady and quiet aspiration, and to wait strong dynamic calm is needed. <ref>http://incarnateword.in silence, for the light to come down and flood your brain which will, little by little, wake up to this influence and become capable /cwsa/31/difficulties-of receiving and expressing -the intuition.-physical-nature#p28</ref>
= How =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. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/12/mental-education#p22</ref>
There is an active method by which one looks In order to allow at all to see where the thoughts come from higher Light an adequate entry and finds they come not from oneselfforce of working, but from outside it is necessary to acquire a power for quietude of the head as it were; if one can detect them comingnature, thento compose, before they entertranquillise, they have to be thrown away altogether. This is perhaps the most difficult way impress a controlled passivity or even an entire silence on mind and not all can do itheart, but if it can be done it is the shortest life and most powerful road to silencebody. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/22/the-ascent-towards-supermind#p26</ref>
Remain very quiet, open your mind and your heart == How to Sri Aurobindo's influence and mine, withdraw deep into an inner silence (which may be had in all circumstances), call me from the depths of this '''silence''' and you will see me standing there in the centre of your being.Practice Silence? ==
The peace There is an active method by which one looks to see where the thoughts come from and silence must settle deep infinds they come not from oneself, so deep that whatever comes but from outside the head as it were; if one can only pass over detect them coming, then, before they enter, they have to be thrown away altogether. This is perhaps the surface without troubling the settled calm within—it most difficult way and not all can do it, but if it can be done it is good also that the meditation comes of itselfshortest and most powerful road to silence. <ref>http://incarnateword. It means that the Yogain/cwsa/29/concentration-and-Force is beginning to take up the sadhana.meditation#p24</ref>
They sit down for a few hours The peace and silence must settle deep in , so deep that whatever comes from outside can only pass over the surface without troubling the day and even at night and quiet their mind. This settled calm within—it is for them good also that the key to all realisation—a quiet mind meditation comes of itself. It means that knows how the Yoga-Force is beginning to keep quiet for hours together without rovingtake up the sadhana. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/peace#p7</ref>
= In Yoga =When one find yourself near someone who has controlled his thought and achieved mental silence. One suddenly feels this silence coming down into oneself and something which was impossible half an hour earlier suddenly becomes a reality. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/15/22-january-1951#p16</ref>
To take this step towards the new creation, one must learn to silence the mind and rise above into Consciousness. == Silence in Yoga ==
The quietude and silence Yoga is not a mental field, the consciousness which you feel has to be established is not a mental, logical or debating consciousness—it is even laid down by Yoga that unless and until the sense of happiness in it are indeed mind is stilled, including the very basis of successful sadhana.There is a greater power intellectual or logical mind, and opens itself in quietude or silence than in wordsto a higher and deeper consciousness, vision and knowledge, however forcefulsadhana cannot reach its goal. <ref>http://incarnateword. The greatest transformations have been achieved in the silence of concentration./cwsa/28/doubt-and-faith#p1</ref>
If you wish to have a trueDescents of peace are good, sincere experience upon which you but an increasingly stable quietude and silence of the mind is something more valuable. When that is there then other things can buildcome—usually one at a time, you must know how to be silent, otherwise you have nothing but what you fabricate yourself, which is equivalent to zerolight or strength and force or knowledge or ananda. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/the-inward-movement#p75</ref>
BesidesWhat one feels first [in the silence] is the pure existence of the self, without any idea, for inner growthcharacteristic or movement—existence pure and simple, I do not believe Sat Brahman—or else one feels that words and a vast peace and wideness. Afterwards other things are necessaryfelt such as Ananda, but always with this as the basis. In silence all our help is there at its most powerful<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/experiences-of-the-self-the-one-and-the-infinite#p7</ref>
The solitude In the perfect silence of the self in the Divine has no doubt contemplation all widens to be active as well as static infinity, and passive; but none who has not arrived at in the perfect peace of that silence and motionless solitude of the eternal Self can have Divine appears in the free and integral activity resplendent glory of the higher divine NatureHis light. <ref>http://incarnateword. For the action is based on the in/cwm/14/silence and by the silence it is free.#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>
