Silence calms the mind

Silence calms the mind.
It is a balm that heals the wounds of the mind and provides peace and stability.
It is not just a word, but an experience - an experience that stops the turmoil within.
It introduces us to that inner peace which is not affected by any external situation.
It strengthens the soul from within, taking it to a world where there is no noise, no worry—only the experience of pure peace, a resonating stillness in which we meet ourselves.

                  Silence means - silence of the mind. 
Often, silence is taken as not speaking—meaning external silence, refraining from talking to others. 

But the true form of silence is the silence of the mind.
If the tongue is silent but the dialogue continues in the mind—if there is a turmoil of thoughts, it cannot be called silence.
Such silence is only superficial, not real.

True silence is a state of thoughtlessness, where the waves of thoughts cease. 

A state when the mind is completely calm, and the inner self becomes as calm as a still lake.
As long as the train of thought keeps running—the turmoil of plans, imaginations, and worries keeps on going —the mind cannot be at peace.
As long as silence is limited to the body alone, it will not reach the soul.
The practice of mental silence takes us to that depth—
where we can go beyond words and listen to the unceasing sound of the Self.
