In the midst of assembled Rishis of the forest
was seated Rama with his resplendent face.
Eager to know about Rama
wives of the Rishis inquired Sita
as to who her husband among them was
Denying each one as ‘not him, not him’
when finally pointed out to Rama,
she hung her head and remained silent……
eloquent and most profound was the silence
Vedas, while teaching us about
the nature of Brahman do the same…..
denying all that we experience
as ‘not this, not this’…
finally reaching the undeniable Self,
remain profoundly, eloquently silent!

Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny. And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it's all over. - Gloria Naylor

The teacher said; “Take a pencil and paper, and write an essay with the title ‘If I Were a Millionaire.’” Everyone but Jay, who leaned back with arms folded, began to write feverishly.
“What’s the matter,” the teacher asked. “Why don’t you begin?”
“I’m waiting for my secretary,” Jay replied.
