"... People who talk all the time, they don't have enough time to reflect on themself and listen to what their own heart is saying.
People who learn to be quiet and reflect and think, those people develop a connection with their heart in which they begin to hear their own state.
When your heart tells you your state then that is the true-est of witnesses because your heart will never lie regarding your state..."
(Shaykh Hussain Abdul Sattar)
Nice quote.
Sometimes, observing the extent we talk,
disavowing a single pause,
I think, perhaps
there is nothing we fear more than silence.
So much in need of comfort
and company, perhaps
there is nothing more suffocating than silence.
So fickle, perhaps
there is nothing that makes us more uncomfortable
and edgy, than silence.
It seems we will do anything;
let our tongue run free,
zone in to a movie,
load up a computer game,
shop, eat, drink, party,
read,
sleep!
Anything
but stop, pause, reflect,
and tune in to our heart.

I have put in the word 'reflect' where I had previously 'think'. This is not about the mind. This is about turning off our other faculties that master us and turning on our hearts to guidance.
thinking too much is bad for our state of mind
... as is thinking too little. :)>
