Ramana Maharshi declared, “The only language able to express the whole truth is silence.”
Let alone the “whole truth”, even the “ordinary truths” that I try to talk about in the light of the “whole truth” people are misunderstanding/”not getting it” and I am increasingly getting tired of all conversations and dialogues with almost all people (including those who take an interest in spirtuality and have read a fair bit in that area) who cannot but seem to take this world for real or at least keep talking from the standpoint of duality. Hence I am thinking it is best to cease all writings and dialogue and keep quiet. That way, moreover, I will attain self-realization because as Ramana Maharshi declared, “All that is required to realize the Self is to ‘be still’ [summa iru].”
In Advaita Vedanta, the Self is beyond knowledge and ignorance, beyond light and darkness. Words divide, but silence holds unity. Ramana’s presence itself was a teaching—those who sat with him often felt peace beyond explanation. Silence is not absence but fullness: the stillness in which the Self shines without obstruction. To abide in this silence is to realize that truth is not something to be reached but what we already are—pure being, ever free. Explore Ramana Maharshi’s teaching that silence is the highest expression of truth in Advaita Vedanta, where words fail but being alone remains, in this blog post of mine:
