mudra wrote:The Wise Man believes profoundly in silence - the sign of a perfect equilibrium. Silence is the absolute poise or balance of body, mind and spirit. The man who preserves his selfhood ever calm and unshaken by the storms of existence - not a leaf, as it were, astire on the tree, not a ripple upon the surface of the shinning pool - his, in the mind of the unlettered sage, is the ideal attitude and conduct of life. Silence is the cornerstone of character.

it reminded me story that it was common for an arabic sultan while meeting a king from the west naturally sit quite for a an hour before to start to speak.
After an hour a sultan would knew all the reasons of visit as western kings would not handle the silence and in frustration would disclose all hidden diplomatic plans ahead.
