Silence is of four kinds: silence of speech, silence of the eye, silence of the ear and Silence of the mind.
Only the last is pure Silence and is the most important.

The disease is simple and the cure is equally simple. It’s just your mind that makes you insecure and unhappy. Stop abusing your mind and everything will be well with you. Give up all worries about the past and the future and live fully in the present.
Nisargadatta Maharaj
When the thought has no customers, the thought disappears.
Nisargadatta Maharaj
Never mind the mind
It’s the nature of the mind to wander. You are not the mind. The mind expands and sinks. It is impermanent, transient, while you are Eternal. There is nothing but Being. Getting into the Self is the thing. Never mind the mind. If your source is sought, the mind will disappear, leaving the Self (Being) unchanged.
~ Sri Ramana Maharshi (from Lecture 79; 19 November 1935)
No use thinking lakhs of times, if you do not act for a single time. No use observing silence continually, if you do not stop your wandering mind. No hunger can be satiated simply by binding a loaf of bread over the stomach.
Thus spake Guru Nanak
