The principal business of our mind is either a response of acceptance or refusal to these thought-waves (as also vital waves, subtle physical energy waves) or this giving a personal-mental form to thought-stuff (or vital movements) from the environing Nature Force. It was my great debt to Lele that he showed me this. "Sit in meditation," he said, "but do not think, look only at your mind; you will see thoughts coming into it; before they can enter throw them away from you till your mind is capable of entire silence." I had never heard before of thoughts coming visibly into the mind from outside, but I did not think of either questioning the truth or the possibility, I simply sat down and did it. In a moment my mind became silent as a windless air on a high mountain summit and then I saw a thought and then another thought coming in a concrete way from outside; I flung them away before they could enter and take hold of the brain and in three days I was free. From that moment, in principle, the mental being in me became a free Intelligence, a universal Mind, not limited to the narrow circle of personal thought or a labourer in a thought-factory, but a receiver of knowledge from all the hundred realms of being and free too to choose what it willed in this vast sight-empire and thought-empire. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/thought-and-knowledge#p9</ref>

~~== Connecting to Divine ==~~

~~It is in the silence of complete identification with the Divine that true understanding is obtained. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/silence#p24</ref>~~

~~In peace and inner silence you will more and more become conscious of the constant Presence. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/peace#p18</ref>~~

None can say to the Divine, "I have known Thee", and yet all carry Him in themselves, and in the silence of their soul can hear the echo of the Divine's voice. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/relationship-with-the-divine#p6</ref>

In the perfect silence of the contemplation all widens to infinity, and in the perfect peace of that silence the Divine appears in the resplendent glory of His light. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/silence#p14</ref>

Feeling alone in the midst of human beings is the sign that you are beginning to feel the need to find in your own being contact with the Divine Presence. So you must concentrate in silence and try to enter deep within to discover the Divine Presence in the depths of your consciousness, beyond all mental activity. (The Mother, 16 December 1971) <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/16/16-december-1971#p1</ref>
