24. Silence and sound

```

In silence

We grow and glow;

In sound

We love and serve.

Silence-life

Is the tree.

Sound-life

Is the fruit.

If there is no tree,

There can be no fruit

And if there is no fruit,

There is no need for a tree.

Silence and sound both

Are of paramount importance. ```
