→Mental Silence
<div style="color:#000000;">Sri Aurobindo says:</div>
<div style="color:#000000;">“The stillness of the mind means, first, the falling to rest of the habitual thought movements... which agitate this mind-substance.</div> <div style="color:#000000;">But, one sees, when one looks more closely at it, that the mind substance is still in a constant state of very subtle, formless but potentially formative vibration… </div>
<span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;">...that state of constant vibration may be .. harmful to the exact reflection or reception of the descending Truth ... for these vibrations are the source of a mentalisation which can diminish or distort the authenticity of the higher Truth or break it up into mental refractions. When I speak of a still mind, I mean then one in which these subtler disturbances too are no longer there.</span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">”</span>
