Gladden in silence.
Adore silence.
As one progresses on the path, one seeks silence more and more. It will be a great comfort, a tremendous source of solace and peace.Once you find deep solitude and calm, there will be a great gladness in your heart. Here finally is the place where you need neither defense nor offense -- the place where you can truly be open. There will be bliss, wonder, the awe of attaining something pure and sacred.
After that, you will feel adoration of silence. This is the peace that seems to elude so many. This is the beauty of Tao.
Personal Interpretation
Learn to adore the silence if you truly wish to be at peace. When we close ourselves to the world and turn inward, we are free to express ourselves. There is no need to defend ourselves or relentlessly pursue the aims of a materialistic and ultimately transient life. We can simply be. There is great beauty in the silence. It is here that Tao resides and once we experience it for the first time, we will find ourselves drawn to it time and time again. This is as it should be.
