Sir, you mention 17 chittas and millions of them running in a second. It is so inconceivable to
comprehend.
During meditation and also during the day when I am aware of the breath, there is a feeling of
calm and contentment, how am I able to experience that if so much is happening in the mind.
Or is the mind of a meditator not as active as a non meditator, and following the 8 fold
noble path is an antidote for the storm of a mind in the sea of samsara?
Even when the mind is disturbed, we are only aware of a few thoughts and they all seem to subside
in a minute or so and we seem to experience a thoughtless stage during meditation or even during
walking meditation.
