"In the ancient world, silence was never merely the absence of sound; it was a presence charged with meaning. Both Chinese and Indian traditions treat silence as an ontological reality rather than a void. In the Upaniṣads and Bhartṛhari's writings, silence appears as the unmanifest ground of language; Buddhists sometimes argue that silence signals the ineffability of ultimate truth; Daoist texts frame silence as attunement to the Way or the cosmic spontaneity."
