There is always a mental activity occur without break. Even in the dreamless sleeping state. The bhavanga is there. It is a kind of passive mental state. <BR/><BR/>In the active mental state, wholesome or unwholesome thoughts may arise. <BR/><BR/>These mental states flow like stream. They flow rapidly. Fast until we could not see it. That's why people think that there is "I", "I think".<BR/><BR/>In the meditation, yogi notes at the mental states with mindfulness. This can be what you mean by "natural state". <BR/><BR/>Normally, we are not able to go to the state of "no thought" or no mental activity. In Buddhism, only Anagami or Arahatta beings with Jhana attainment are able to attain this kind of meditation experience (Nirodhasamapatti).<BR/><BR/>To be able to note at this fast stream mental states, yogi needs strong concentration.<BR/><BR/>When yogi able to note at these phenomena, wisdom arises.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
