Slience

Silence of the mind is the gate point to the awakening. 

It is a starting point. 

Silence is something that comes from your heart, 

Not from outside.

It does not mean not talking and not doing things.

It means that you are not disturbed inside and there is no talking inside.

It can be the rustling tree that awakes the child in you.

It can be the passage of wings on an empty beach.

To feel the silence, one has to be willing to be still  - 

Let the mind settle.
