Thinking, no matter how brilliant, won’t help you access the wisdom available to a quiet mind. The same way clear water allows a view of the lake bottom, a still mind reveals the nature of your being. Incessant mental chatter blocks clarity just like heavy clouds obscure the sun. If you rely exclusively on your intellect to understand your world, you’re probably missing out on the profound insight that comes from regular meditation practice. Sitting still and focusing on your breath helps disperse your mental clouds, bringing more clarity, calm, a brighter outlook, and…
A deeper truth.

Beautifully written and just what I need. I was brought up trying to ‘figure it out’, a long, long time ago.
