I particularly enjoy the moments of silence, even though I have very few; because we are immersed in a very convulsed world, that even in the stillness of your room your own mind makes you noise, after being all day surrounded by so many.
Thank you for this article, for making us understand the importance of silence.
Yes, I think one of the most important kinds of silence is that we achieve when we can listen to the chatter of our own mind without fighting it, and allow it to calm itself naturally. Non-interference and compassion for self allows our natural silence to arise, even if there is actually noise outside us. Trying to manipulate our minds or experience causes noise inside us, even if there is actually silence outside us.
