Be still, they say.
Watch and listen.

muni - Sanskrit muni: One who is moved by inner impulse;
an inspired or ecstatic person;
sage, seer, acetic, monk
https://wahiduddin.net/mv2/mv_glossary.htm#M_-
*From ancient times there have been mystics in India who are called muni; they never speak.
They have of course other characteristics as well, but they are called muni because of their abstinence from speech.
They often have lived very much longer than we live in the present time: three hundred, five hundred years and more.
By not speaking the breath is not interrupted, it is regular and even.
Mystics have always attached great importance to breathe,
and have made its study their first object.
Those who have mastered the breath have mastery over their lives;
those who have not mastered it
are the ones who have consumption,
paralysis and all kinds of diseases.
Man does not think of life;
he is so eager for his enjoyments that he does not think
of the life that is there for him to enjoy.
Every person should have at least one hour in the day to be quiet,
to be silent.
After silence of speech
comes silence of thought.
Sometimes a person is sitting still without speaking,
but all the time his thoughts
are jumping up and down. ...

(Excerpt)
Kindness has gracious eyes;
it also suggests that your
vulnerability, though somehow exposed,
is not taken advantage of;
rather, it has become an occasion
for
dignity and empathy.
an evening light that has
the depth of color and patience
to illuminate what is
complex and rich in difference.
human hope is based on the instinct
that at the deepest level of reality
some intimate
kindness holds sway.
This is the heart of blessing.
To believe in blessing
is to believe that our being here,
our very presence in the world,
is itself the first gift,
the primal blessing.
- nowhere does
the Silence of the Infinite lean so intensely
as around the form
of a newly born infant -
imbued with longing for beauty, meaning, order, creativity,
compassion, and love.
John O'Donohue

The media only writes about
the sinners and the scandals,
but that's normal,
because a tree that falls
makes more noise
than a forest
that grows.

you will feel a deep silence surrounding you,
because then you know
your effort is not needed for life.
It is a river; you unnecessarily go on pushing it.
You will see that the body is taking the inhalation.
Your effort is not needed, your ego is not needed – you are not needed.
You simply become a watcher,
you simply see the body taking the inhalation.
Deep silence will be felt.

A Meditation Before Sleep – Osho
by purushottama
When you go to sleep tonight and every night following,
before going to sleep put off the light,
sit on your bed, close your eyes and exhale deeply
through the mouth with the sound 'O' – Ooooo.
Go on exhaling with the sound 'O', as deeply as possible.
Your stomach goes in, the air moves out, and you go on creating the sound 'O'. Remember, I am not saying aum, I am saying simply 'O'.
It will become aum automatically.
You need not make it, then it is false.
You simply create the sound 'O'.
When it becomes more harmonious and you are enjoying it,
suddenly you will become aware it has become aum.
But don’t force it to become aum, then it is false.
When it becomes spontaneously aum then it is something
vibrating from within.
And this sound aum is the deepest sound,
the most harmonious, the most basic.
When it happens and you enjoy and you flow in its music,
your whole body and your brain relax.
With the sound aum you will go on relaxing
and your sleep will have a different quality,
altogether different.
And your sleep has to be changed,
only then can you become more alert and aware.
So we will start by changing the sleep.
In the night put the light off,
sit on the bed,
exhale deeply through the mouth with the sound 'O'.
When you have exhaled completely and you feel that now
no more exhalation is possible,
the whole breath has gone out,
stop for a single moment.
Don’t inhale, don’t exhale – just stop.
In that stop you are the divine.
In that stop you are not doing anything,
not even breathing.
In that stop you are in the ocean.
Just remain in the stop for a single moment and be a witness –
just look at what is happening.
Be aware where you are:
witness the whole situation that is there
in that single stopped moment.
Time is no more there,
because time moves with breaths;
breathing is the process of time.
Because you breathe you feel the time moving.
When you don’t breathe you are just like a dead man.
Time has stopped,
there is no process anywhere, everything has stopped...
as if the whole existence has stopped with you.
In that stopping you can become aware
of the deepest source of your being and energy.
So for a single moment stop.
Then inhale through the nose,
but don’t make any effort to inhale.
Remember, make all the effort to exhale,
but don’t make any effort to inhale;
just let the body inhale.
You simply relax your hold and let the body take the inhalation.
You don’t do anything.
That too is beautiful and works wonders.
You have exhaled, stopped for a moment,
then you allow the body to inhale.
You don’t make any effort to inhale;
you simply watch the body taking the inhalation.
And when you watch the body taking the inhalation
you will feel a deep silence surrounding you,
because then you know
your effort is not needed for life.
Life breathes itself. It moves by itself of its own cause.
It is a river; you unnecessarily go on pushing it.
You will see that the body is taking the inhalation.
Your effort is not needed, your ego is not needed – you are not needed.
You simply become a watcher,
you simply see the body taking the inhalation.
Deep silence will be felt.
When the body has taken a full inhalation,
stop for a single moment again.
Again watch.
These two moments are totally different.
When you have exhaled completely and stopped,
that stopping is just like death.
When you have inhaled totally and then stopped,
that stopping is the climax of life.
Remember, inhalation is equivalent to life,
exhalation equivalent to death.
That’s why the first thing a child does when born is to inhale,
and the last thing the same child will do when old, dying,
will be to exhale.
On this earth,
the first thing you did while entering life was inhalation,
and the last thing you will do will be exhalation.
No one can die inhaling.
When you die you have to exhale,
you die with exhalation.
And no one can be born with exhalation,
you have to start by inhalation.
Those who know,
and those who have watched their inner life process deeply,
they say
– and you will come to feel it yourself –
that with every inhalation you are born again
and with every exhalation you die.
So death is not something in the end,
and birth is not something in the beginning;
every moment there is birth and death,
every moment you die and are born again.
And if you die beautifully
you are born again more beautifully,
if you die totally
you are born totally.
So exhale as totally as possible;
that will give you a death moment.
That’s beautiful,
because a death moment is the most silent, the most peaceful
– that is nirvana.
Then let the body inhale to the full, and then stop.
That moment is a life moment:
the climax of energy, power, bio-energy at its peak.
Feel it, and feel both.
That’s why I say stop twice:
when you have exhaled, then;
and when you have inhaled, then
– so you can feel both life and death,
so you can watch both life and death.
Once you know this is life, this is death,
you have transcended both.
The witness is neither death nor life.
The witness is never born and never dies;
only the body, the mechanism.
You become the third.
These two moments are very significant.
This very night you have to do this meditation,
for twenty minutes you go on doing this
and then fall down and go to sleep.
