In Dakshinamurti Slokam, Adi Sankara speaks of Siva as Guru teaching the rishis in silence:
mauna-vyAkhyA-prakaTita-para-brahma-tatvaM
Lao Tsu describes the ‘Law of the reversed effect’ thus:
It is in the letting go, that we are enabled to receive;
In the stillness, that we can participate;
In the silence, hear;
and, out of the dark night, see.
To know the Truth, one must get rid of knowledge
