It has often occurred to me that a seeker after truth has to be silent.
When I don't understand something, I reach up and hold God's hand. And we walk together in silence.
Speak only if it improves upon the silence.
My greatest weapon is mute prayer.
Silence becomes cowardice when occasion demands speaking out the whole truth and acting accordingly.
Silence is a great help to a seeker after truth like myself.
In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in an clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness. Our life is a long and arduous quest after Truth.
