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

== Knowing Quietness of mind 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 will change the nature. <ref>http://incarnateword.in Silence ==/cwsa/29/silence#p18</ref>

The true way Silence of knowing is above words the mind, peace or calm in the mind are three things that are very close together and thoughtsbring each other.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/quiet-and-calm#p19</ref>

== Flow of Intuition Silence is the ideal condition for progress. <ref>http://incarnateword.in Silence ==/cwm/14/silence#p1</ref>

In order to allow at all to If the higher Light an adequate entry calm and force of workingsilence are perfectly established in the physical, then if inertia comes it is necessary itself something quiet and unaggressive, not bringing such disturbances. But to acquire get rid of inertia altogether a power for quietude strong dynamic calm is needed. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/difficulties-of -the -physical-nature, to compose, tranquillise, impress a controlled passivity or even an entire silence on mind and heart, life and body.#p28</ref>

It is true also that the freedom of this When one has learned to silence gives a possibility of a larger play of the intuitive being mind at will and admits with less obstruction and turmoil of mental groping and seizing the great intuitionsto concentrate it in receptive silence, inspirationsthen there will be no problem that cannot be solved, revelations which emerge from within or descend from aboveno mental difficulty whose solution cannot be found.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/12/mental-education#p22</ref>

The cure is not in trying In order to allow at all to wake up the mind but in turning it, immobile higher Light an adequate entry and silent, upward towards the region force of intuitive lightworking, in it is necessary to acquire a steady and quiet aspiration, and to wait in silence, power for quietude of the light nature, to come down and flood your brain which willcompose, little by littletranquillise, wake up to this influence impress a controlled passivity or even an entire silence on mind and become capable of receiving heart, life and expressing body. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/22/the intuition.-ascent-towards-supermind#p26</ref>

== How to Practice Silence? ==

There is an active method by which one looks 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.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/concentration-and-meditation#p24</ref>

Remain very quiet, open your mind The peace and your heart to Sri Aurobindo's influence and mine, withdraw silence must settle deep into an inner silence (which may be had in all circumstances), call me 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 depths meditation comes of this '''silence''' and you will see me standing there in itself. It means that the Yoga-Force is beginning to take up the centre of your beingsadhana. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/peace#p7</ref>

The peace When one find yourself near someone who has controlled his thought and achieved mental silence must settle deep . 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, 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/cwm/15/22-january-Force is beginning to take up the sadhana.1951#p16</ref>

They sit down for a few hours == Silence in the day and even at night and quiet their mind. This is for them the key to all realisation—a quiet mind that knows how to keep quiet for hours together without roving.Yoga ==

= In Yoga =is not a mental field, the consciousness which has to be established is not a mental, 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 opens 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>

To take this step towards the new creationDescents of peace are good, one must learn to but an increasingly stable quietude and silence of the mind is something more valuable. When that is there then other things can come—usually one at a time, light or strength and rise above into Consciousnessforce or knowledge or ananda. <ref>http://incarnateword. in/cwsa/30/the-inward-movement#p75</ref>

The quietude and What one feels first [in the silence which you feel and ] is the sense pure existence of happiness in it the self, without any idea, characteristic or movement—existence pure and simple, Sat Brahman—or else one feels that and a vast peace and wideness. Afterwards other things are indeed felt such as Ananda, but always with this as the very basis of successful sadhana.There is a greater power in silence than in words, however forceful<ref>http://incarnateword. The greatest transformations have been achieved in /cwsa/30/experiences-of-the-self-the-one-and-the silence of concentration.-infinite#p7</ref>

If you wish In the perfect silence of the contemplation all widens to have a trueinfinity, sincere experience upon which you can build, you must know how to be silent, otherwise you have nothing but what you fabricate yourself, which is equivalent to zeroand 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>

BesidesEvery kind of realisation—infinite self, cosmic consciousness, the Mother's Presence, Light, for inner growthForce, I do not believe that words are necessary. In silence all our help is there at its most powerful. The solitude Ananda, Knowledge, Sachchidananda realisation, the different layers of consciousness up to the self Supermind—all these can come in the Divine has no doubt silence which remains but ceases to be active as well as static and passive; but none who has not arrived at the silence and motionless solitude of the eternal Self can have the free and integral activity of the higher divine Natureblank. For the action is based on the silence and by the silence it is free<ref>http://incarnateword.  in/cwsa/30/emptiness-voidness-blankness-and-silence#p37</ref>
