A quote from Krishnamurti, which arrived in my email in-box this morning... "When the mind is utterly silent, what is the immeasurable, the everlasting, the eternal? Not in terms of God and all the things man has invented but actually to be that. Silence, in the deep sense of that word, opens the door because there you have got all your energy; not a thing is wasted. There is no dissipation of energy at all, and therefore in that silence, there is the summation of energy. It is not stimulated energy, not self-projected energy, and so on, which is too childish. There is no conflict, no control, no reaching out, searching, asking, questioning, demanding, waiting, praying – none of that. Therefore all the energy that had been wasted is now gathered in that silence. That silence has become sacred".
Coincidentally, this plea for silence was licenced today...
