Silence Is Not The Absence Of Sound,

The Disciples Were Absorbed In A Discussion Of Lao-tzu's Dictum: "those Who Know, Do Not Say; Those Who Say, Do Not Know." When The Master Entered, They Asked Him What The Words Meant. Said The Master, "which Of You Knows The Fragrance Of A Rose?" All Of Them Indicated That They Knew. Then He Said, "put It Into Words." All Of Them Were Silent.

What You Are Aware Of You Are In Control Of; What You Are Not Aware Of Is In Control Of You.

When God Means You To Be A Healer He Sends You Patients; When He Makes You A Teacher He Sends You Pupils; When He Destines You To Be A Master He Sends You Stories.

If What You Said Was True, Where Was The Need To Shout?

Before Enlightenment, I Used To Be Depressed; After Enlightenment, I Continue To Be Depressed.
