Thought to dwell on

Morarji Desai was the Prime Minister of India in 1977. He visited Shirdi in 1917, met Sai Maharaj, and offered obeisance.

He asked Sai Maharaj to tell him the essence of religion in one or two sentences.
“I shall put into a single word, and that is – SILENCE”
Desai asked – “And what is the way to silence?”
“Dhyan or meditation”
Desai queried – “What, may I ask, is Meditation?”
“Silence.”
