restful mind

Restful mind:
Sometimes the mind seems to be incapable of being calm and quiet – still. There is always a lurking apprehension, restlessness, as if waiting for something, or something is impending to happen. There is a curiosity to probe what it is. Is it a fear of something unpalatable happening, or just the result of physical irritation, discomfort, uneasiness?
Can the mind be still and quiet in spite of the disturbances, irritation or apprehension arising from the body? There seems no point in waiting for these things to subside or to be subdued and eliminated.
Through all of them the mind has to be at rest.
