Theos-Talk Archives (October 2002 Message tt00044)

In all due respect, Leon.... it seems a shame to add the words of a 
3rd party complicating matters even more, as the great Sri 
Sankaracharya sayeth in the intro to the article "In the labyrinth of 
words the mind is lost like a man in a thick forest."

Neither the words of HPB or AAB, with all their inherent limitations 
and beautiful expressions, convey the truth without absolute 
uncertainty. Only in the "Voice of Silence," a totally integrated 
state of mind, is there the discovery of Truth... only in the great 
art and wisdom of thinking without words is there absolute certainty 
of the Ultimate Reality.

And, on that note is my retreat back into silence.
Most sincerely,
Suzanne
