Danger to Our Empty Mind

Sometimes the magic shoe maker might come into your unguarded house and make you new shoes.
The chances that those three hungry bears might walk in to eat not only the food is also possible.
Leaving your mind empty is like leaving your house unlocked and unguarded. You never know who or what might enter.
And what did the Chinese used to say about empty vessels making all that noise?
If you have thoughts that are provoking you in the direction that is not productive, you can alter the situation by the choice you make.
You can direct your mind deliberately to think in certain productive and pro-active manner.
If you leave the mind wander by itself it can be progressive or destructive depending on the influence of others or the influence of your inner history of your own past thoughts, ideas, behavior, beliefs or understanding.
The Mind by itself does not choose to rest. It is way more active than our body. Sometimes it is necessary to give the mind a rest. Resting the mind is like giving a good rest or a good night sleep to your body.
When you consciously focus and pay attention to your mind it has to stop all its activities and quiet down and relax.
