Silence is the natural state of mind

Silence is the natural state of mind. Mind returns spontaneously to silence after every experience as experiences happen in the background of Silence. What stops the mind from returning back to silence is the attachment to the result of the experience - Judging, comparing, contradicting, seeking -wanting more or less, not accepting as-is. An unconditional love, selfless work and indifference to results (complete acceptance and no seeking) leads to silence. Silence can only lead the movement of silence and not mere talking about silence. Begin by letting thoughts flow and watch them. The very observation will slow down the mind and stop all together. Be choiceless-ly aware. Once mind is quiet. Keep it.  This might help you too -  No self No problem

Search must come to an end

All questions spring from your search (seeking, becoming). It doesn't matter what the object of that search is -- God, a beautiful woman or man, a new car. It is all the same search. And that hunger will never be satisfied. Desire breeds more desire. As long as there is a living body, there will be desire. It is natural. The desire to put an end to all desires is a peculiar desire and is the desire of the person seeking liberation. Contentment can only make you happy.

It dawns on you that this (gratification) is not the way, and it is finished - Search comes to an end. When you stop doing things out of hope, all you do along with it stops. You stay afloat. There is complete acceptance, no seeking, ...

The Observer, Observed and the action

Observer: The one who is watching, perceiving, or measuring. Observed: The object, event, or phenomenon that is being watched, perceived, or measured. The OBSERVER (self) is an image one has created of himself. There is no self at birth. The self is created through culture (knowledge accumulated) over a period of time. The Observer thus created is looking at other with the image he has created on the other (subset of his self) as though it is something different from himself (duality). This feeling of duality has prompted him to act. But, this duality is an illusion as he is observing his own self. There is no way of observing what is (actual). When one realizes that the Observer is the Observed, then all effort and action comes to an end. Everything is just your own self. No duality - No desire, No seeking, No becoming, No fear, No anger, No-thing. There is only love, joy and acceptance. This might help you too -  You are the greatest of All
