Just wanted to ask, if it is only Mantra refining subtler and subtler into the point where it disappears, makes us experience silence? I mean can we experience the silence spontaneously when we are off the mantra and when it is not that refined?

Yes, that is when we experience the silence. In the gap of losing the mantra and realizing you are off the mantra you touch the silence... and at times it can be a long pause where you have no thoughts and no mantra. Perfect. The min you realize you have no thoughts, you are back in thoughts.. so go back to the mantra at whatever level you are at.

spontaneous silence without refined mantra
