''Q. How can we establish a settled peace and silence in the mind?''
''A.'' (''After a silence'') I mean that this exclusiveness is a habit. However, when one has done a little yoga seriously, one knows very well that one can think here (''Mother shows the centre of the forehead between the eyebrows, then the right side, then the left'') one can think here, one can think here, one can think in front and, as I was saying just now, one can think much higher—up but naturally, one thinks that all thought-phenomena, concentration, are produced in the brain—and when one thinks up above, here (Mother shows the space above the head), one thinks much better than when one thinks here. It is only that one has never tried to do otherwise. Not "never tried", there are quite a number of people who have tried and have succeeded. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/06/8-september-1954#p55</ref>
