Mani, Meher Baba's sister, shared some of her thoughts in an informal talk on this subject in Mandali Hall at Meherazad. She said:
"There should be no question in the minds of anyone [Baba lovers], whether we should observe silence or not. It is an opportunity that we should not let pass by! Every lover of Baba, to my mind, should observe silence on the 10th of July — Silence Day. You salute your Beloved Baba by giving Him a rose; you would not call that a routine or ritual. It is an expression of your love, a piece of your heart . . . Baba has observed silence for all — for each one of us — and if we cannot give that little response for one day — if we cannot keep our lips closed for one day of the year — then that’s too bad. I don’t feel that by keeping silence we are going to help the world or anything like that. That is not why we are doing it. It’s just a salute, in homage to His Love for us; an expression of our love for Him. Beloved Baba observed silence for all these years, and for one day He has “said” we can share it with Him too. How blessed we are!’
玛妮，巴巴的妹妹，在美拉扎德的满德里大厅，非正式地谈到这个主题时，分享了她的想法。她说：
无论我们是否应该保持或不保持沉默，在任何一个人（巴巴爱者）的心里，都应该没有任何问题。它是一个我们不应该错过的机会！在我看来，每一个巴巴爱者，都应该在7月10日——沉默日中保持沉默。你向你心爱的巴巴致敬，给他一朵玫瑰；你不会把它称为例行公事或仪式。它是你爱的表达，是你的一片心意。巴巴对我们所有——我们每个人——都保持沉默，如果我们不能用一天的时间做出这样的回应——如果我们不能在一年中的一天闭上嘴——那就太糟糕了。我不觉得通过保持沉默我们将会帮助世界或者类似的任何事情。这不是我们做这件事的原因。这仅仅是对他对我们的爱的致敬，是我们对他的爱的一个表达。至爱的巴巴多年来一直保持沉默，有一天他'说'我们也可以和他分享。我们是多受祝福啊!”
