“How can emptiness be better than human love or human happiness? Again there are no words to describe it because it’s ineffable. You have to realize what emptiness really means. Emptiness means that no-thing exists in it, no human concept, no human feeling, no human entity.

Where there is total emptiness there is Absolute Reality. And Absolute Reality is total bliss, happiness and joy. And it’s omnipresence. So you not only feel it personally but you have become the whole universe and you see it wherever you look, and you hear it wherever you listen.”

~ Robert Adams (20th century American Advaita mystic)

“The words that I speak do not mean too much. It is the silence that is eloquent. And the silence is the same with all of us. Silence is the Self. If you rest in silence you become the Self.”
