“To understand the immeasurable, the mind must be extraordinarily quiet, still”
— Jiddu Krishnamurti
Simplified Meaning:
Imagine trying to listen to a whisper in a noisy room. It's almost impossible because all the loud sounds distract you. But if the room is very quiet, you can hear even the tiniest whisper clearly. This quote is saying the same thing about our thoughts and minds. When our minds are full of thoughts, worries, and distractions, it's like the noisy room; we can't understand important, deep things. But if we calm our minds and make them very still, like a quiet room, we can understand big and profound ideas much better. It’s like meditating or taking a moment to sit quietly in nature – these moments help us think clearly and see important truths more easily.
