Silence is the true upadesa. It is the perfect upadesa. It is suited only for the most advanced seeker. The others are unable to draw full inspiration from it. Therefore they require words to explain the Truth. But Truth is beyond words. It does not admit explanation. All that is possible to do is only to indicate It. How is that to be done?
The people are under an illusion. If the spell is removed they will realize the Truth. They must be told to relize the falsity of the illusion. Then they will try to escape its snares. Vairagya will result. They will enquire into the Truth, i.e. seek the Self. That will make them abide as the Self.
