"If we take the advice of the Buddha and other great teachers from the past and continue to practice meditation, we too begin to move away from feeling like we are bombarded by a waterfall of thoughts.

Instead we feel more like we are in the midst of a very powerful thought river. This is not a  bad start.

Over time and with practice, it feels like the thoughts bombarding us are more at the pace of a babbling brook or a gentle stream,

which ultimately leads to the mind of wakefulness - a large spacious pond without a ripple on it."
