. Thought (i.e., thinking) cannot make itself profoundly silent; what is conditioned cannot — by itself (or through mind-formulated systems) — ever create the unconditioned. The conditioned naturally — effortlessly — ceases as quiet insight flowers. A silence that is the product of a calculating mind — or of a predetermined system — is a limited, dead kind of silence. Intelligence (seeing the dangers of merely being constituted of limited, conditioned patterns) may come upon genuine silence… but not by “making it happen.”
That is true silence’s intrinsic beauty.
