PEACE
The peace must be immense, the quietness deep and still, the calm unshakable, and the trust in the Divine ever – increasing.
It is by a quiet, strong and persistent peace that the true victories can be won.

Silence: the ideal condition for progress.
It is in Silence that true progress can be made. Page ― 148 It is only in silence that a true progress can be made; it is only in silence that one can rectify a wrong movement; it is only in silence that one can be of help to somebody else. If you have found out a truth, or rectified a mistake in yourself, or made a progress, to speak or to write about it to anybody else than the Guru is to lose at once the truth or the progress.
A silent help seems to be more effective and sure, more constant and detailed.
In silence is the greatest respect.
