"Inner silence, calming the agitations of our hearts and minds, letting go of all that is stubborn and grasping, is essentially an expression of the love of truth . . .
"To be dispassionate, not to let one’s own needs or prejudices or emotions color one’s actions, is essentially to put truth before everything else . . .
"To love truth in this way is to love God, who is Truth. Thus the practice of inner silence is the same as the love of God."
