Once Sai Baba and his devotees were walking through a forest to another village. It was a very hot day. They cross through a small pond of water that did not look very clean. Sai sat down to rest under the shade of a tree and asked one of his devotees to get him some water to drink from the pond that they just crossed. The devotee hesitated and said that the water did not look clean. Sai urged him to go. So, he goes and looks at the water which was still muddy especially as they had just walked through it causing the water to stir. He goes back to Sai and tells him the water is not clean. A few minutes later, Sai asks him to go back there and get water to drink, The same thing happens. About a half hour later, Sai tells him to go back again and fetch him water from the pond. The devotee reluctantly goes there only to find clear water on the surface. He gets a bowl of water for Sai to drink. Sai then tells him, in the same way, if you quiet your mind down, it settles down after a while of agitation, Your thoughts become clear and you begin to have clarity in life.
If we extend this a bit further, a quiet mind is a catalyst to awaken your Soul. The Soul is completely dominated by our minds. The mind is always filled with thoughts, anxiety, worries etc. If you quieten your mind, your soul will get a chance to awaken and show you the right path in your life. The Soul is the GPS of the spiritual world. Rest your minds, so that the Soul can lead you in the right direction spiritually.
I love you all very much.
God bless you!

A quiet mind is an intense proposition of an intellectual venture. Your posts are a power pact with subtle motivation and essential deliberation.
Can’t agree more!
