Q: Sri Bhagavan's silence is itself a powerful force. It brings about a certain peace of mind in us.
Maharshi: Silence is never-ending speech.
Vocal speech obstructs the other speech of silence. In silence one is in intimate contact with the surroundings. The silence of Dakshinamurti removed the doubts of the four sages. Mouna Vyakhya prakatita tattvam means the truth expounded by silence.
Silence is said to be exposition. Silence is so potent.
For vocal speech, organs of speech are necessary and they precede speech. But the other speech lies even beyond thought. It is in short transcendent speech or unspoken words.
