How to achieve silence?

practice
"Silence is not the absence of noise, but the presence of alert, choiceless awareness; when you witness without interference, inner talk subsides and silence blooms naturally."
According to Osho, silence is not achieved by techniques or forcing the tongue, but by alert, choiceless awareness. See and hear everything fully, yet don't react; let thoughts pass without clinging. When consciousness witnesses without interference, inner talk subsides and silence flowers spontaneously—whether you speak or not. Prioritize the silent mind over outer restraint; simply watch, don't brood.
Pay full attention to whatever happens without reacting or chasing thoughts, and inner quiet shows up by itself.
