Experts estimate that the mind thinks between 60,000 – 80,000 thoughts a day. That’s an average of 2500 thoughts per hour.

If you pay attention to these thoughts, you would be amazed to discover that most of them are useless thoughts that pass through the mind with a huge speed.

 These are words, comments, questions, answers and a lot of senseless wandering thoughts that you might not even be aware of.

 If you have experience with meditation, you would have proof of the great number of thoughts passing through your mind. It’s just like being a very busy train station or airport terminal, where a great number of people come and go.

You also get proof of the endless stream of thoughts when you try to study, solve a problem or make a plan. Suddenly, you become aware of the many irrelevant thoughts claiming for your attention.
