"Meditation is to find out whether the brain, with all the activities,
all its experiences, can be absolutely quiet. Not forced, because the
moment you force, there is duality. The entity that says, 'I would like
to have marvelous experiences, therefore I must force my brain to be
quiet,' will never do it. But if you begin to inquire, observe, listen
to all the movements of thought, its conditioning, its pursuits, its
fears, its pleasures, watch how the brain operates, then you will see
that the brain becomes extraordinarily quiet; that quietness is not
sleep but is tremendously active and therefore quiet. A big dynamo that
is working perfectly hardly makes a sound; it is only when there is
friction that there is noise." - J.K
