Shut up
To remain silent when we have nothing to say. Not to speak when everything is perfect. Everything is perfect when we are at peace with the whole and all its parts. That's true enlightenment, all the rest is only a show. We marvel over everything or we marvel over nothing at all.

Going way down into the rabbit hole
Unless someone explains it very clearly or the mind experiences it directly, it will never realize that it would get a lot wiser and smarter by not thinking all the time. But the mind cannot understand how wisdom and intelligence could come from silence, that is to say a no-mind state and no thought. It doesn't make sense since it is trying to understand what it means by thinking and reasoning.
What could inner silence, no-mind state and no thought mean for the mind ? Deep sleep, nothingness, emptiness, stupidity, lobotomy, kind of mindlessness, etc. ? It doesn't make sense, how could such states make the mind wiser and smarter ? But the mind can experience and understand that silence in the mind also means watching carefully and seeing, and therefore knowing, realizing and understanding.
Silence in the mind and the presence of consciousness watching are the same. Consciousness never thinks, thinking is a faculty of the mind and not of consciousness. And that consciousness knows very well without thinking what's good for the mind, what can make it smarter and wiser. That doesn't mean that the mind dies of silence or thinking is useless as this commentary obviously testifies of it.
