the silence of the heart

Thank you to all who joined me in the silence of the heart (satsang) last night!

and to confirm our knowing of this silence, Mother Teresa:

@-->---

In the silence of the heart God speaks. If you face God in prayer and silence, God will speak to you. Then you will know that you are nothing. It is only when you realize your nothingness, your emptiness, that God can fill you with Himself. Souls of prayer are souls of great silence. 

@-->--  

Before you speak, it is necessary for you to listen, for God speaks in the silence of the heart.

@-->--  

Silence of the heart is necessary so that you can hear God everywhere - in the closing of the door, in the person who needs you, in the birds that sing, in the flowers, in the animals.

oh, and something fun...

the word listen contains the same letters as the word silent
