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. 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 Silence is the source absence of the highest inspirationsall motion of thought or other vibration of activity. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/quiet-and-calm#p13 </ref>
In peace Quietness of mind doesn't mean entire silence. It means a mind free from disturbance and trouble, steady, light and silence glad so as to be open to the Force that will change the Eternal manifestsnature.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/silence#p18</ref>
It is only Silence of the mind, peace or calm in silence the mind are three things that anything great can be doneare very close together and bring each other.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/quiet-and-calm#p19</ref>
In peace and inner silence you will more and more become conscious of the constant Presence.== Why Silence? ==
In silence, Silence is the consciousness growsideal condition for progress. It aspires to know You more and more perfectly<ref>http://incarnateword. in/cwm/14/silence#p1</ref>
In If the calm and silence of are perfectly established in the heartphysical, then if inertia comes it is itself something quiet and unaggressive, you will receive not bringing such disturbances. But to get rid of inertia altogether a strong dynamic calm is needed. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/difficulties-of-the command.-physical-nature#p28</ref>
It is out of this Silence that When one has learned to silence the Word which creates the worlds for ever proceeds; for the Word expresses mind at will and to concentrate it in receptive silence, then there will be no problem that which is selfcannot be solved, no mental difficulty whose solution cannot be found. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/12/mental-hidden in the Silence.education#p22</ref>
== Knowing 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. <ref>http://incarnateword.in Silence ==/cwsa/22/the-ascent-towards-supermind#p26</ref>
The true way of knowing is above words and thoughts.== How to Practice Silence? ==
Truth There is above mindan 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; it is in silence that if one can detect them coming, then, before they enter into communication with , 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 itis the shortest and most powerful road to silence. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/concentration-and-meditation#p24</ref>
== Flow 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 Intuition itself. It means that the Yoga-Force is beginning to take up the sadhana. <ref>http://incarnateword.in Silence ==/cwsa/29/peace#p7</ref>
In order to allow at all to the higher Light an adequate entry When one find yourself near someone who has controlled his thought 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 achieved mental silence. One suddenly feels this silence on mind coming down into oneself and heart, life and bodysomething which was impossible half an hour earlier suddenly becomes a reality. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/15/22-january-1951#p16</ref>
It is true also that the freedom of this 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.== Silence in Yoga ==
The cure Yoga is not in trying a mental field, the consciousness which has to wake up be established is not a mental, logical or debating consciousness—it is even laid down by Yoga that unless and until the mind but in turning itis stilled, immobile and silent, upward towards including the region of intuitive lightintellectual or logical mind, in a steady and quiet aspiration, and to wait opens itself in quietude or silence, for the light to come down a higher and flood your brain which willdeeper consciousness, little by littlevision and knowledge, wake up to this influence and become capable of receiving sadhana cannot reach its goal. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/doubt-and expressing the intuition.-faith#p1</ref>
= How =Descents of peace are good, 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 force or knowledge or ananda. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/the-inward-movement#p75</ref>
There What one feels first [in the silence] 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 pure existence of the head as it were; if one can detect them comingself, thenwithout any idea, before they entercharacteristic or movement—existence pure and simple, they have to be thrown away altogetherSat Brahman—or else one feels that and a vast peace and wideness. This is perhaps the most difficult way and not all can do itAfterwards other things are felt such as Ananda, but if it can be done it is always with this as the basis. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/experiences-of-the-self-the shortest -one-and most powerful road to silence.-the-infinite#p7</ref>
Remain very quietIn the perfect silence of the contemplation all widens to infinity, open your mind and your heart 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 perfect peace of this '''that silence''' and you will see me standing there the Divine appears in the centre resplendent glory of your beingHis light. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/silence#p14</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 Every kind of itself. It means that the Yoga-Force is beginning to take up the sadhana. They sit down for a few hours 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. = In Yoga = To take this step towards the new creationrealisation—infinite self, one must learn to silence the mind and rise above into Consciousness.  The quietude and silence which you feel and the sense of happiness in it are indeed the very basis of successful sadhana.There is a greater power in silence than in wordscosmic consciousness, however forceful. The greatest transformations have been achieved in the silence of concentration. If you wish to have a trueMother's Presence, sincere experience upon which you can buildLight, you must know how to be silentForce, otherwise you have nothing but what you fabricate yourselfAnanda, which is equivalent to zero. BesidesKnowledge, for inner growthSachchidananda realisation, I do not believe that words are necessary. In silence all our help is there at its most powerful. The solitude 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>
