" Udhrittam manaschchittam yatprabhava vittrayaha'

To understand how a thought arises needs, needs an immense amount of established consciousness and silence in you. 

You are silent. Your mind is calm, unexcited, your memory is subdued - no thought arises. When the mind is excited, memory is stimulated, the chitta, your recording apparatus, is stimulated and the mind and memory jointly produce an impulse of energy, that is a thought, that is a vritti, that is a tendency.

That is why it is so important to silence the mind. If you want to experience silence, go to a silent place, let go of your worries and dissolve.Let go and relax.

When you are at rest, Vrittis become silent and then you can see the depth of the ocean, that is love and that is God and you are God.

And then Guruji talks about mind - The manas and the consciousness - the chetna...

This mind is experiencing the world. Who is miserable. If you say, " Oh, I am so miserable', find out who is miserable. Who is hot, who is cold, who is experiencing the pain, who is experiencing pleasure, who is happy, who is unhappy, who feels, who is intelligent, who is Dumb, stupid. Who is this? Who is feeling all this ? Who is experiencing it? Just saying," I am experiencing" is not enough. You can say to someone else, I am experiencing it. You find out who is this 'I'  who is experiencing it.

This very question takes you into meditation. Any pain can lead you into meditation- any pleasure or joy will lead you into meditation. Who is the one who is experiencing this.  That is all you have to ask?
