When the lips are closed,
then the heart begins to speak;
when the heart is silent,
then the soul blazes up,
bursting into flame,
and this illuminates the whole universe.
The mystic realizes the power of the word
and the splendor of silence
The word can do so much,
but even more can be accomplished by silence.
Great phenomena are produced by words
but greater miracles are performed by silence.
