' I am silence '...

"Quietness is something that seems to happen to you.

But that is not real silence.

Real silence is your true nature.

To say 'I am silent' is actually quite ridiculous.

When you look at it, it's not that you are silent, it's that you are silence.

Conceptually it may seem to be a small difference between the experiences of 'I am silent' and 'I am silence,' but this is actually the difference between bondage and freedom, heaven and hell."
