Silence by Baba Hari Dass...

beyond time, space and causation is silence

that silence is Brahman

the absolute...

sound is movement of energy in nature

it creates a sound

so sound is the cause of creation

just like darkness is an eternal nature and within that eternal darkness, light comes and goes.

in the same way, silence is an eternal nature

sound appears and disappears in it

from silence originates sound

from sound originates speech,

speech creates language

when speech and language cease

then

silence is experienced within.

sound is a form of language

connecting each other by

feeling, emotions, desires and attachments

whereas silence disconnects and separates everything

sound creates a duality by creating thoughts, ideas and imaginations

and divides in subject and object.

silence gives rise to non-duality by

going back to it's source, Brahman, the Absolute.
