Love for God makes our lives quiet. Not that we become like stone; spiritual tranquility is not inertia. It is marked by the highest wisdom and clarity of insight. External noise and perplexities do not disturb us anymore; we find harmony and peace. The whole world's tremendous activity appears to us to be the silent play of God.
