Silence

This deep state of consciousness may be reached by meditation, so the body is relaxed, the mind controlled, time no longer exists and there is awareness of God. Mystical or divine silence cannot be used but only experienced. Speech is said to be the organ of the present world but silence is from the gods, the mystery of the world to come. One who is silent in this sense is at one with God, whatever his religious tradition. Unanimous also is the agreement that this silence cannot be described in speech.
