Question: Is silence the Language of God or the medium through which the Supreme communicates to our soul?

Sri Chinmoy: Silence is at once the Language of God and also the best medium through which the Supreme communicates not only to our soul, but also to our outer being. Our soul understands the message, the language of silence, but our outer being does not understand it. Once our outer being is purified and our outer life is considerably disciplined, then like the soul, we will be able to understand the Silence-language of God when He offers us any message.

From:Sri Chinmoy,The height of silence and the might of sound, Agni Press, 1974
