When the mind is able to become totally silent through long-time practice of meditation, we become its master and discover also the truth of our existence. Such a one who has achieved this will be able to guide and inspire others towards that. As Babaji says,
‘Listening to a Yogi’s speech would be totally different from other teachers of spirituality because a Yogi speaks from experience and is very practical. Even if a Yogi is silent, He is conveying the message of Truth that is achieved when the mind becomes totally silent. If a Yogi speaks, it is not from the scriptures alone but mainly by the direct experience of the Truth.’
