Silence...

Silence is the true upadesa (teaching).

It is the perfect upadesa.

It is suited
only for the most advanced seeker.

The
others are unable to draw full inspiration
from it.

Therefore they require words to
explain the truth.

But truth is beyond
words.

It does not admit of explanation.

All that is possible to do is to indicate it.
