The truth and mystery are never hidden, my dear, it is we who are too blind to see them. It's that simple. . . . Suddenly those things I had always considered obvious began to glow almost from within. Everything was opening its secrets to me in silence, without a word. Everything shone in my heart now instead of my head. . . . It was a whole new way of learning, by listening to silence.
