The true strength is in silentness. It is well said that “The dog that barks does not bite.” The grim and rarely broken silence of the bull-dog is the necessary adjunct to that powerfully concentrated and effectual action for which the animal is known and feared. This, of course, is a lower form of silentness, but the principle is the same. The boaster fails; his mind is diverted from the main purpose; and his energies are frittered away upon self-glorification.

Krishna’s flute symbolizes that when you are hollow and empty, you become the perfect instrument of the Divine and music happens in your life. Krishna’s pose, standing with one foot firmly on the ground with the other raised, poised lightly, depicts the way to live life in perfect balance between worldly matters and spiritualism. - Sri Sri Ravi Shankar (image link and text quoted from - epaper Hindustan Times Sep. 02 2010)
