The Mother of Sri Aurobindo Ashram

Q: Isn’t the silence associated with some sort of emptiness?

It depends on what you mean by emptiness. There is an emptiness which is full of the divine Presence and can hardly be called empty. There is another emptiness of silence which is neutral and still another in which one empties oneself, waiting for something higher to come and fill it.

– Sri Aurobindo
