Ramana Maharshi used to teach in silence for many years i believe. Out of compassion for those who were unable to receive, he chose to speak sometimes. Many years after his physical death he continues to teach in silence, and many thousands continue to flock to the ashram in Tiruvanamalai where he spent most of his life.

Indeed, a great example of silent teaching! 🙏 Do you follow his example? ;)
if only!
i tend to "teach" by quoting masters such as Ramama Maharshi, and do my best to teach by example with kindness and non-judgement.
i am but a student in this comedy of life :-)
I have however taken part in many silent retreats over the years. In particular at Hridaya Yoga in Mexico and France, and at Arunachala ashram in Kerala, India.
(grin) Understood. :)
We're all both teachers and students, moment-to-moment, I imagine.
I've family in Mexico, perhaps I'll check it out. 🙂
