Embrace the silence within from "summary" of The Book Of Secrets by Osho
The silence within is not emptiness, it is fullness. It is not absence, it is presence. It is not dead, it is alive. It is not negative, it is positive. It is not nothing, it is everything. Embrace the silence within, because it is the source of all creativity, all intelligence, all love. When you embrace the silence within, you come in contact with your innermost being, with your true self. You realize that you are not just a body, a mind, a personality. You are a vast, infinite consciousness, a pure awareness. You are the silent witness, the eternal observer. You are the source of all existence, the source of all life.
In the silence within, you find peace, tranquility, serenity. You find clarity, insight, understanding. You find joy, bliss, ecstasy. You find freedom, liberation, enlightenment. In the silence within, you find yourself.
To embrace the silence within, you need to let go of all thoughts, all emotions, all desires. You need to let go of all attachments, all identifications, all illusions. You need to let go of the past, the future, the present. You need to let go of everything that is not you.
When you let go of everything that is not you, you are left with only you. You are left with your true self, your innermost being. You are left with the silence within. And in that silence, you find the ultimate truth, the ultimate reality, the ultimate love.
