Meaning
This reads as a correction to the idea that meditation is about forcing silence. It points to the mind as already having a quieter layer beneath the constant churn, and to practice as a way of noticing it. It lands for anyone who sits down expecting instant calm, then discovers that stillness is more about patience than control.
