== Introduction ==
<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. 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>
<br>
<div style="color:#000000;">Practising mental silence brings the ever-jumping mind to a state of rest, in which one can experience solitude and be receptive to divine guidance. The practice of mental silence can be used to understand the subjects which one finds difficult. It improves concentration. It is extremely effective for reducing stress and anxiety. The applications of mental silence in education and health are effective. The next step in the road ahead is to increase awareness and improve the practice. </div>
