Expression of the self does not mean to articulate in terms of thoughts. Thought is a phenomenon created by God, it is not something that you undertake measurement of production! Thought is not something that will assure satisfaction through measurement and evaluation! If this is known, then thoughts are “allowed” to connect, be created and shared and evolve into some form and the route to assess the inner state is also felt.

In today’s times generally people think that expression of thoughts is important part of defining who one is or what one is. But this cycle does not conclude in satisfaction because there is an expectation of a constant flow of articulation to happen and justification to happen and evaluation to take place. This is a huge burden and hence even if there are no thoughts, there need not be any worry to produce them. Thoughts generally mean engagement and if they become continuous then one’s mind is never “at rest/ peace”. This is a problem of our times.

Now what should generate peace? Let things be as they are and let the inner world of non communication and non articulation be as it is. To force everything int thoughts is extremely burdensome and so there will be many, many things beyond thoughts (or which form thoughts) and our perception itself may get informed by many things beyond the domain of thoughts – deep feelings as an example.

Life is mysterious because it is essentially beyond the knowledge measured by thoughts. True knowledge is truth – an existence of Being that “creates” us (or a mind) and hence to become calm is to become that knowledge. We may not be able to say many things of existence but all of that is entirely ok and natural. Whoever said that things (all of them) need to be expressed in clear terms is plainly mistaken. Let there be room for space.
