Awareness

You are the One which is aware
of the awareness of objects and ideas.
You are the One which is even more silent than awereness.
You are the Life which precedes the concept of life.
Your nature is Silence and it is not attainable,
It always Is.

~ Sri Poonjaji 'Papaji'

Self

For him who is the Bliss of Self arising from extinction of the ego, what is there to do? He knows nothing other than this Self. How to conceive the nature of his state?

('Reality in Forty Verses', v. 31 ("Collected Works"))

Silence

M: That state which transcends speech and thought is mauna; it is meditation without mental activity. Subjugation of the mind is meditation; deep meditation is eternal speech. Silence is ever-speaking; it is the perennial flow of ‘language’. It is interrupted by speaking; for words obstruct this mute ‘language’. Lectures may entertain individuals for hours without improving them. Silence, on the other hand, is permanent and benefits the whole of humanity. . . . . . By silence, eloquence is meant. Oral lectures are not so eloquent as silence. Silence is unceasing eloquence. . . . It is the best language.

There is a state when words cease and silence prevails.

(From 'Maharshi’s Gospel', Book I, Ch. 2)
