Yet, noises and sounds imply other subjects uttering sounds, babies, adults, birds, cars, TVs etc. But does silence exist outside hearers in the world and without a creature who can hear? If, for example, there are only material lifeless particles and bodies in the universe, are there sounds and quietness also? I don't think so. Maybe waves and vibration of air move in the open space.
Let's suppose you hear nothing: it's fully as quiet as the grave. You claim the head is empty. You haven't any thoughts. But try to find mind's silence. You do "hear" your mind's buzzing.
Now try to stop inner "voices". I bet you aren't able to. So where is your willpower? Where is freedom you love so much? During the life there's not silence within You.
Oh Lord! From where inner ideas come and where they go! Nobody knows.
Is there Silence in the air? No.
We can't hear it in snaps. Books
keep quiet about their stories.
After opening one of them it
starts to tell you its story.
