Silent Language


Silence is the language of God. All else is poor translation. In order to hear that language, we must learn to be still and to rest in God.

~Thomas Merton

How true those words. In each of our Sufi centers, there is a framed saying.

Silence, for breath is a Godsend.


Peace and Blessings!

Maybe enforced silence is not silence. There should be silence inspite of the mental chatter.
