Three kinds of silence
1:18|2016|teaching
Actually, silence also needs to be defined before we can share more about it, which is the word is understood by many to mean different things, so let's read a clarity on the definition of silence, and then we can explore more about it together. One is this, the nominal outward silence, which is, I don't feel like speaking, I don't feel like interacting with anyone, that is the verbal silence, let's call it that. Second is this widening down of the line. This is the widening down and the powerlessness of the mind. Sometimes it can be that the number of thoughts themselves, they reduce, and sometimes it is that the power that the words seem to have of the mind, that it tells him to reduce, and sometimes it can be boots. So then it feels so quiet. This silence is one more silence, or the mind becomes so quiet. So let that.
