You cannot see the bottom of a lake if there are waves and the water is muddy, but once the waves disappear and the mud settles down, you can see the bottom.
The mind is like a lake, and thoughts are like the wind, stirring the mind, as the wind stirs the water of the lake and creates waves. Only when the mind becomes quiet, you can see deep inside, think clearly, arrive to correct conclusions, and make right choices.
When thoughts run non-stop in your mind, they constantly pull your attention here and there, never allowing you to look deeper, but when the mind is quiet, it is different, since there are no distracting thoughts to pull your attention away.
It is only when can silence your mind that you go beyond the mind, understand it, control it, and enjoy inner peace. When you quieten your mind, you can go beyond it, and discover a world of calmness, happiness and power. ๐
