Bhagavan:

Silence is of four kinds: silence of speech, silence of the eye, silence of the ear, and silence of the mind. Only the last is pure silence, and it is the most important.

~ While God sustains the burden of the world, the spurious ego assumes its burden, grimacing like an image on a tower seeming to support it. If the traveller in a carriage which can carry any weight does not lay his luggage down but carries it painfully on his head, whose is the fault? - Ulladu Narpadu Anubandham, verse 17:

~Whatever happens, let it happen; whatever does not happen, Let it not happen.” A mind with this attitude will be well established in the Self.
