“Isn't it wonderful when everything is quiet? Especially when I shut up and don't talk anymore. Things become much better. So let's really sit in the silence. When I say: 'Sit in the silence,' I'm not speaking of human quietness. I mean the silence beyond human quietness, the silence beyond understanding. The silence which is God, Infinite intelligence. Let's just sit in that silence. Close our eyes, be still, put a smile on your face. I am not my affairs. I am not my experiences. I am not this life I appear to be going through. I have absolutely nothing to do with this world even though I may appear to others to be doing things in this world, working, whatever. I am free from fears. Free from past karma. Free from other peoples thoughts. I-am-that-I-am. I go deep, deep, deep within the Self and then become the Self. Realizing that there is only one Self. I am touching that place where I've never been before. The ultimate reality. I am touching that place where there are no thoughts, no emotions, no feelings. I am touching that place where there is bliss, eternal love. I now go deeper beyond all that where even love, ultimate oneness, self-realization are mere words. I go beyond all words and thoughts to that place where there is absolutely nothing and yet I exist.”
