Passage 8

In English

Our mind is such that it is always thinking about things coming together and separating from each other. This is a natural quality of the mind. Without bringing thoughts together and the dissolution of such thoughts, the mind cannot exist at all. When these thoughts come in quick succession, the mind sometimes takes the wrong path. In such situations, the mind becomes very confused and unsteady. If man wants to overcome this confusion, some amount of mental rest is necessary for the mind. If man wants peace of mind, he must give rest to his mind. Such occasional rest is necessary, not only for human beings, but also for animals, birds and even lifeless machines. If one does not get such rest, it becomes very difficult for life to exist and for man to live. If man can get this kind of rest, it will give some peace and happiness.
