Simplified meaning
To grasp things that are beyond what we can measure or fully understand, our mind needs to be very calm and quiet. Imagine trying to hear a whisper in a noisy room. You would need everyone to stop talking to hear it clearly. In the same way, when our thoughts are racing and our mind is busy, it’s hard to truly understand deep and complex ideas. By calming our minds, like the surface of a still pond, we can better see and comprehend things that are normally hidden by the ripples of our everyday worries and distractions. For example, when making an important decision, taking quiet time to reflect without distractions can lead to much clearer and profound insights. Quieting the mind helps us connect with deeper truths and see beyond the surface of things.
