MounaM PaNDitalakShaNaM - (Silence is the Hallmark of Wisdom)

मौनं पण्डितलक्षणं
(Silence is the Hallmark of Wisdom)

PaNDaa is the fund of knowledge. PaNDit is one who has acquired knowledge. PaaNDitya is erudition.

Silence is the golden womb of knowledge. All great ideas, inventions, inspirations are born out of silence. All knowledge is with God, God is knowledge, to take a cue from the Bible.
Of course, we have the Mahaavaakya - PrajnaanaM Brahma - Knowlege is Brahman.

There is nothing new. All are discoveries, revelations, unfoldments.

A full pot does not make noise.

On the railways, we know this principle well that an oil-laden train is easier to haul when the anks are full than when half-full.
