The mind is like an ocean...during a storm the surface is choppy, turbulent and erratic, but is that the nature of the mind? No, to understand the true nature of the mind one must imagine diving deep below the surface of the ocean,,ever deeper from the choppy surface..eventually the true nature of the ocean reveals itself in deep silence, unending silence.....even tho the surface is still choppy, the depths, great depths are unbounded silence...that is the true nature of the mind...it only takes the dive within to eventually experience the silent depths. The dive within is meditation....By infusing those qualities of the silent depth into the awareness the individual is able to appreciate the silent nature of the mind, the unboundedness of the mind, even when on the choppy surface..that is a blessing in life......moving thru the choppiness and storms with teh mind grounded in the depths of the silence.......
