 6.There is no greater secret than
silence because it allows one to
know God. Silence is performed
for the purification and
unification of the self with the
Self, the ego with the soul, or the
human thought with the Supreme
Thought.
 Our senses, mind and
thought constantly vibrate;
one who calms these
vibrations by silence and
meditation acquires inner
wisdom, peace and
freedom.
 Infinite knowledge is
locked in the depth of the
Soul; only silence and
meditation can bring that
knowledge out to the
surface through the mind.
We all possess an inner power
of knowing things. We can
develop this power through
meditation; meditation is
acquired by silence; silence is
acquired by concentrating the
mind on the Self;
 By working, sleeping or doing
any other thing, man does not
change; through silence and
meditation on the Self, he
realises his mind and becomes a
demi-God. If he continues to
meditate, he becomes the Self.
 There are two states of
knowledge in the Self: the inner
and the outer. The inner state of
knowledge concerns the Self,
His power and nature, and the
outer one concerns creation and
incarnations
 Truths which are knowledge
infinite should be sought within
ourselves. If we cannot dive
deep into our soul to get them,
we have to study thoroughly the
spiritual teaching bequeathed to
us by sages.
Yogis receive knowledge of the
Supreme a little at a time and
it gets into their mind at the
moment He inspires them.
They receive the knowledge
according to the eternal plan
of the Self.
 Renunciation of the reward for
action is the key to knowledge;
that is, he who performs actions
without expecting any fruits from
them and is completely detached
from all that he does, acquires
knowledge and attains perfection.
We have opinions of the creation
in the manner we believe, that is,
as our imagination conceives
them. We cannot confirm that
they are truths; it is only when the
soul provides knowledge to our
mind through seeking that we
know the truth.
