"Every word, every image used for God is a distortion more than a description."

"Then how does one speak of God?"

"Through Silence."

"Why, then, do you speak in words?"

At that the Master laughed uproariously He said, "When I speak, you mustn't listen to the words, my dear. Listen to the Silence."
