Silence is the non-dual nature of the Soul, the Self. By observing silence within the universe, which is a dualistic illusion or Maya nothing is gained.

Deep sleep is a state of silence but it is not considered as a state of oneness because anyone can take a sleeping pill and will be able to get a state of oneness.

Thus, trying to imitate the state of oneness within the dualistic illusion or Maya by observing silence the Advaitic wisdom will not dawn.

Without Advaitic wisdom, ignorance will not vanish. Thus, getting rid of ignorance through wisdom is the only way to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

Remember:~

Silence is not keeping mum. By keeping mum, the thought process will not stop. Nondualistic silence is the nature of the Soul, the Self.

Nondualistic silence is like a deep sleep state where the waking experience is absent. If the waking experience is absent then there is neither thinker nor thought nor the world.

Nondualistic silence is possible only in Self-awareness. Self-awareness is possible only when Advaitic wisdom dawns.

Advaitic Wisdom is possible only when the waking entity realizes it, itself is not the Self, but the Self is the Soul, which witnesses the coming and going, of the three states.

In reality, the witness and the witnessed are one in essence. Just because some guru or teacher said to observe silence it only means to imitate the invisible Self, but it does not lead one to Self-realization.: ~Santthosh Kumaar
