Krishna, Shiva, words, and Silence || Acharya Prashant (2016)

Listener 1: Sir how can words have such a cleansing effect, don’t you think Silence speaks louder?

AP: Is there a contradiction between silence and words? Is there really? We have been silent since the last one hour. It’s such an eloquent Silence.

Listener 1: It’s still secondary.

AP: No, what do you think Silence is? If you think Silence is wordlessness then it is a very noisy silence.

Listener 1: How do you know that?

AP: Because you have taken silence to be something.

Listener 1: Then we are doing the same thing here.

AP: No, not really. We are not even talking of Silence. We are busy in what we are and this is Silence.
