Silence is the best teacher because it forces one to directly confront their monkey-mind and try to stop the internal noise.

You're absolutely right on target when you mention Dakshinamurti who did indeed teach in total silence. As you duly noted, he did not seek students and, according to the story I had read, he had just four disciples.
Silence is indeed the best teacher.
I've been fortunate to have connected with several "Master A" and "Master B" types as well as the pervasive "Master C" types. Nisargadatta Maharaj has stated that "there are numerous primary teachers to teach the alphabet" and I equate that with the "Master C" types and those who are even more primary than that.
Thanks for sharing.
Om Namah Shivay !
