SILENCE OR EXPRESSION

Silence, not expression, is the highest state many would claim, while comparing the path of Vedanta and Bhakti. But, had a liberated one such as Ramana Maharshi chosen to remain in silence, would the world have known of the path of Atma Vichara?

As the Maharshi had to expound the technique known as ‘Self Enquiry’ to the world, He could do so through minimal use of words whereas a Bhakta never ceases to speak the glories of his beloved Lord. For him, it is spontaneous and blissful to speak of the glory of His Lord.
