Can we be silent? Absolutely silent - like a corpse. Silence that encompasses silence of the vocal chords, silence of the mind, and freedom of the mind from noisy emotions like fear and desire? Indeed, at that level of silence, we might be superficially similar to a corpse. The only (and huge) difference is that we are alive, totally alive, at that point!
May all our actions consciously proceed from the depths of such silence!
And as my dear friend rightly pointed out, this union of conscious action arising from the depths of silence would be one fabulous interpretation of the famous hindu image of ardhanareeshwara - meaning half shiva (supreme male god) and half shakthi (supreme female god)!
