Thinking cannot solve anything; thinking cannot give us permanent pleasure. It is just - in a way - a waste of time.

Keeping The Mind Busy How And What To Think

We want to keep our mind busy. Some thinking or the other must go on even though it might be meaningless. We have made our mind like that. Periods of silence, inner calm and quiet is liked by us occasionally but we never want it for too long. That is the nature that we have created. We want that the mind should be busy, thinking, planning, imagining, feeling sad, disturbed. We are not choosing that the mind should be busy only in certain areas. Thinking of God nowadays makes no sense to us. We like our mind to be thinking all the time. It has become our nature and we like it. If it does not think, then we get disturbed.

This is a position that has its own problems. Thinking cannot solve anything; thinking cannot give us permanent pleasure. It is just - in a way - a waste of time. We don't want an idle mind. Even when it is idle, it becomes a devil's workshop.
