Buddha’s second quarter

Practices of mantra chanting, pranayama, breath watching, are all devices to arrive at a point, where you can turn inward and abide in silence. 

Do your practices with utmost attention, but when you finish doing, that is the most important part.

It is a still zone where, the mind may have it's plunge into silence.

Sometimes, what does not happen during the practices, happens when you are not doing anything. 

Mind can also plunge into silence and stillness - by being in the presence of a Master. 

This phenomenon that happens in the presence of a Master, is called having "Darshan".
