I do know what shut up means, what I don’t know is why this would be your reply to me or anyone on the BC.
This statement seems counterproductive to the purpose of the BC as a place for discussion.

So if are one to follow this old Indian Wisdom, then I guess I won’t be hearing much from you.

I would emphasize this one committal, this one great volitional act which
establishes the heart's intention to gaze forever upon Jesus. God takes this
intention for our choice and makes what allowances He must for the thousand
distractions which beset us in this evil world. He knows that we have set the
direction of our hearts toward Jesus, and we can know it too, and comfort
ourselves with the knowledge that a habit of soul is forming which will become
after a while a sort of spiritual reflex requiring no more conscious effort on our
part.

We have such a poor idea of the unspiritual and sinful state that prevails in the church that, unless we take time to devote our hearts and our thoughts to the real facts of the case, the promise of God can make no deep impression on us. I have presented the subject in various aspects to prepare the way for the conviction that this blessing is in truth the one thing needed; and to get possession of this one thing, we ought to say good-bye to everything else we hold dear. Owing to the prevailing lack of the presence and operation of the Spirit, it takes a long time before these spiritual truths concerning the need, the fullness, and the reality of the Spirit‘s power can obtain mastery over us.

Yeah, yeah, no one loves God and Jesus like you do unless they're saying what you say. I'm going to put on yellow tights and stand nobly.on a hilltop as the wind blows through my hair. Now there's a Christian!

Every day ought to be a Pentecostal season in the church of Christ. Christians cannot live according to the will of God without this blessing. I cannot exhort you, my readers, strongly enough to continue this search for spiritual excellence by calling on God in the confidence that He will answer.
When we read the book of Acts, we see that the filling with the Spirit and His mighty operation was always obtained by prayer. Recall, for example, what took place at Antioch. When the Christians were engaged in fasting and prayer, God regarded them as prepared to receive the revelation that they must separate Barnabas and Saul. It was only after they had once more fasted and prayed that these two men went forth, sent by the Holy Spirit. (See Acts 13:2–3.) These servants of God felt that the blessing they needed could come only from above.

There are many of God‘s children who do not believe that the fullness of the Holy Spirit is their inheritance. They imagine that the Day of Pentecost was only the birthday feast of the church and that it was a time of blessing and of power that was not destined to endure. They do not reflect on the command to be filled with the Spirit. The result is that they never seek to receive the full blessing. They remain content with the weak and defective life in which the church of the day exists.

Is this the case with you, my reader? In order to carry on her work in the world, the church requires the full blessing. To please your Lord and to live a life of holiness, joy, and power, you, too, have need of it. To manifest His presence, indwelling, and glory in you, Jesus considers it necessary that you be filled with the Spirit. Believe firmly that the full blessing of Pentecost is a sacred reality. A child of God must have it.
Take time to contemplate it and to allow
yourself to be fully possessed by the thought of its glorious significance and power. A firm confidence that the blessing is actually within our reach is the first step toward obtaining it and a powerful impulse in the pursuit.
