The only temptation is one in which silence is being asked to be broken--for a quiet mind is never gone unless one quits giving it (silence) ones attention. Even while speaking one can be aware of silence--for from its awareness comes a type of functional thought that has no upset within it. Example: May I have my soup re-heated vs Hey waitress-- who runs this place--my soup is cold. I think this service is crap. Cant you even tell if what you give to your customers is worth eating? Blah blah blah... A silent, kind awareness leaves out the psychological complaining and sticks to the facts. This objectivity arises from awareness of the needs of all parties not just an unhappy mind. So if one finds the mind and body reacting re-focus ones attention on silent breathing and as you do this more and more one will re-tune the body and mind to be aware of what is vs responding from the past emotional upset revisiting the current moment. This is possible and it is being done as soon as you set your intention to being aware. Practice practice practice and it will soon be a natural state and nothing will ruffle your feathers. Dont give up your hold upon silent awareness and if you do-- know a refocusing on silence returns you back again as quickly as when you left the silence.
