Question: What is your relationship with the soundless sound Aum?
Sri Chinmoy: My relationship with the soundless sound is the relationship of a most intimate friend. This particular friend of mine helps me in the manifestation of the Supreme. And I help this friend by invoking and treasuring and embodying the cosmic Silence, universal Silence, transcendental Silence.
Sri Chinmoy, Dipti Nivas, Agni Press, 1976
