In this talk given in the lead up to Silence Day in 1976, Rick Chapman speaks about creating a provisional ego and the challenges involved with truly surrendering one’s life to Baba every day. He looks at Silence Day as an opportunity to really focus on the work of “taking life lightly and God seriously.” About silence, he quotes Baba saying, “If you want to observe it, observe it thoroughly.”
