Silence Quotes

“Letting Silence pervade all we do does work because it never separates itself from the world. Thus we do not make the practice of Silence exclusively into a soul work and go inward, nor exclusively a spiritual work to attain some goal on a spiritual path. The work is to be with Silence itself, and in so doing we are one with soul, spirit, body, and world. When practiced over time, we find it becomes possible to be with Silence in all that we do, and in our doing, our presence in the world works as a healing force.”
― Robert Sardello, Silence: The Mystery of Wholeness

“When we find the entry into this large stillness, our lives are irrevocably changed because at that moment a monumental transition takes place: we find that the center of the universe shifts from our self-interests, even our spiritual self-interests, to the larger world, even to the cosmos, which we now begin to perceive as a spiritual reality.”

“Silence is autonomous. It is beyond us; our task is to coordinate our being with the greater Being of Silence.”
― Robert Sardello, Silence: The Mystery of Wholeness

“Silence is not emptiness but an alert unfocusing focus on subtle rhythms that join our interiority to the natural world.”
― Robert Sardello, Silence: The Mystery of Wholeness
