According to Buddha

Live your life without hurting anybody. Harmlessness is a most powerful form of yoga and it will take you speedily to your goal. It is the art of living in peace and harmony, in friendliness and love. The fruit of it is happiness, uncaused and endless.

and the vision that was planted in my brain
still remains
within the sound of silence
silence like a cancer grows

and in the naked light i saw
ten thousand people, maybe more
people talking without speaking
people hearing without listening

but my words, like silent raindrops fell
and echoed in the wells of silence
