"stillness is always there ..in and around any ..noise"

Yes. Living and commuting daily in world's 2nd busiest city I am at peace even among chaos and mess of unending traffic jams in Delhi in addition to occasional ones at home.

When the ocean of silence moves, the resulting noise we interpret as a separate reality

"The thinking self is itself the silence". All the attempts to calm and sooth and quiet the thinking to get to the silence that the thinking already is! The merry-go-round is already stopped.

“Silence is another name for God. Quietness is a name for consciousness, peace. Everything is found in the silence and not too much in the words. In quietness, you should try to be quiet for as long as you can, especially when you are at home. Try to sit in the silence and quietness for as long as you can. It’s in the silence where you will receive the message. It’s in the silence where pure awareness reveals itself to you. Never be afraid to sit in the silence. It’s your greatest asset.

- Robert Adams”

Yes, totally. It all arises within the silence or co-occurs or whatever. You don’t need a quiet mind to experience silence. You are never not the silence
