The grace of the Guru is like an ocean. If one comes with a cup he will only get a cupful. It is no use complaining of the niggardliness of the ocean. The bigger the vessel the more one will be able to carry. It is entirely up to him.
RAMANA MAHARSHIWhen one remains without thinking one understands another by means of the universal language of Silence.

Realisation is nothing new to be acquired. It is already there, but obstructed by a screen of thoughts. All our attempts are directed to lifting this screen and then realisation is revealed.
RAMANA MAHARSHI -
Silence is most powerful. Speech is always less powerful than silence.
