Silence as a part of our practice

All sound arises out of Silence and dissolves into Silence. All thought arises out of Silence and dissolves into Silence. The universe arises out of Silence and dissolves into Silence. Suffering arises out of Silence and dissolves into Silence. The unbounded spaciousness of Silence, filled with the clear light of Awareness, dissolves the roots of pain and sorrow. Take refuge in Silence and know unshakeable joy.

~ Kalidas (pen name of Lawrence Edwards)

Silence is an essential part of a nada yoga practice.

There are four levels of speech that we study in nada yoga, that we experience through observation of our body and mind.
