Silence is the true upadesa (teaching). 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 of explanation. All that is possible to do is to indicate it.
~ Sri Ramana Maharshi
