' The Silence of the Silence '...

Although thought, words, logic and reasoning are obviously necessary to lead a moral life, they do not by themselves constitute living.

They are all based on memory of the known and are products of the split-mind, the mind divided by the intrusion of a spurious 'me'.

To LIVE without thought, without words, is to be receptive to the unknown with the whole mind.

True teaching is in reality the SILENCE of the SILENCE in which there is neither talking nor the absence of talking.

It is like drawing the figure of a fish on the water's surface with a stick.
