If there is a deep silence all around then one can find huge amount of resources of peace and tranquility. When a person is silent, at that time he is with himself and all other distractions disappear. Silence creates an exotic moment , where one forgets ones differences; wars come to a standstill and a feeling of brotherhood prevails. The poem 'Keeping quiet' celebrates the necessity of introspection and the advantage of doing nothing for sometimes in life. Much of the evil disappears in the depths of a silent and inactive life, for if man, at one point of life, does nothing, life on earth, can become a heaven for those moments of life.
