Silence becomes an adornment to Fools in the assembly of Wise men

स्वायत्तम् एकान्तगुणं विधात्रा,

विनिर्मितं छादनम् अज्ञताया: ।

विशेषत: सर्वविदां समाजे,

विभूषणं मौनम् अपंडितानाम् ।।

( नीति शतकम् )

Lord Brahma has created an unique quality 'Silence' which is available to everyone for covering their ignorance. Especially in the assembly of all-knowing wise men, 'Silence' becomes an adornment to Fools as it covers up their ignorance.

ब्रह्मा ने मनुष्य को अज्ञानता छिपाने के लिए एक विशेष गुण 'मौनत्व' बनाया है । विशेष रूप से विद्वानों की सभा में 'मौनत्व' मूर्खों का आभूषण बन जाता है जो उनकी अज्ञानता को ढक लेता है ।
