Question: What sound most closely approaches silence?
Sri Chinmoy: Subtle art is the sound that most closely approaches silence, the Silence-Height. There is also another sound which is very, very close to the Silence-Height and that is the earth-transforming sound of the seeker's dedicated and surrendered service.
From:Sri Chinmoy,The height of silence and the might of sound, Agni Press, 1974
