“The ego in its purity is experienced in the intervals between two states or between two thoughts.” -Ramana Maharshi
“Between two states” is the silent awareness that is always present before you form an idea about anything.
“Between two thoughts” is the same awareness.
If you try to describe that silence, the only thing you can say about it is what it isn’t.
Silence is absolutely free of any form of disturbance or agitation, such as desire, worry, conflict, anger, fear, or resistance.
As the day permits, more and more, pause into silence.
In the silence of self-awareness, every aspect of living perfects itself.
