The Sound of Silence

One can believe that the sound of silence is ‘something’ or that it is an attainment, but it is not a matter of having attained anything but of wisely reflecting on what you experience. The way to reflect is that anything that comes goes; and the practice is one of knowing things as they are. No kind of identity is involved—there is nothing to attach to.
