Not very long ago in Hyderabad there was a mureed, rather an intellectual pupil,
and he liked to talk.
His teacher was interested in his intelligent inquires, and so he encouraged him to talk,
whereas it is the custom in the East for the pupil to remain silent before his teacher.

One day the teacher was in a condition of exaltation,
and his pupil as usual wanted to discuss and argue,
which was not agreeable to the teacher at the time.
He said in Persian, “khamush”, which means silence.

No one heard him speak after that,
no one in the house nor outside;
he never spoke anywhere.

Years passed by and the man still kept silent, but
there came a time when his silence began to speak aloud.
His silent thought would manifest;
his silent wish would become granted;
his silent glance would heal;
his silent look would inspire.

It was the spoken words which had kept him dead all this time.
The moment his lips were closed the silence in him began to live.

When revelation begins, a man does not need to converse;
before talking, he knows what the other wishes to say.
The condition of the person or persons before him is revealed; it is like reading a letter.
The person may speak to him, but without listening he knows.

Revelation is all the phenomena there are.

It is then that the purpose of life is fulfilled.

Above all things, love silence.
Out of your silence will arise something
that will draw you into deeper silence.
If you practice this,
inexpressible light will dawn upon you.
