Only one thought flashes across my mind, only one thought:
Who has given me such impure power of talkativeness, this meaningless babble?Mother, I know my only companion was silence.
Who has taken that silence away from me, Mother,And who has taken away the cheerfulness of my heart?
```From:Sri Chinmoy,Beyond Within — A collection of writings 1964-1974, Agni Press, 1975
