In your interiority, there is no noise, vibration or sound. It is all in your head. This is because you are chewing the old cud. If you were busy with some activity, you would forget some of the things that are happening in your head. But once your hands are free, then you will see that the mind will go on. Do not try to stop it because you cannot stop it. The only way is to distance yourself from it.
There are many methods to distance yourself from the mind. If you are doing Shambhavi or Shoonya, those are powerful processes. Otherwise you can do Isha Kriya. If you do not know any of these, there is one simple thing that you can do right now. Just see that in this vast existence of which we neither know the beginning or the end, this solar system is a tiny speck. In that tiny speck, planet Earth is a micro-speck. You are a tiny little creature on that micro-speck. But you sit here on this little mud ball of a planet and think that you are the center of the universe! This is a stupid idea. From this stupid idea, many other stupid ideas have come, which are in social terms, considered intelligence. But just look at your thoughts in the context of the larger cosmos. Now that the virus is threatening your life, in the context of your mortality, see that the things you think about, the things that you think are important, see that every one of them is stupid.
If you see that your thought and emotion is utterly stupid, you will naturally create a distance. The problem is that you think it is smart but when it troubles you, you want a distance from it. It does not work like that. Whatever you think is smart will stick onto you like a badge. It will not leave you. The moment you think you are smart, your thoughts cannot leave you. If you are a very smart guy, you cannot close your eyes and sit. When you know that you are a bloody fool, you can close your eyes and sit. The difference between an intelligent person and an idiot is that an intelligent person knows that he is an idiot, but an idiot does not know that he is one. That is why he is an idiot.
In terms of life, in terms of existence, you really are nothing. Socially, you may be something. Among fools, fools will shine. That does not mean anything as a life. As a life, this little virus can knock you off tomorrow. Whatever great, smart thoughts we may have do not mean a thing. If you understand this, naturally a distance will arise between you and your thought process. Once there is a distance between you and your thought process, it does not matter what you are thinking at all.
