"I concluded that silent mind thing is an analogy"

Thanks for the comment, I can definitely concur that stopping the mind is not easy.

When I started running, I would have told you that for me, running a 5 minute mile was probably impossible. After training a bit, I was able to achieve it consistently. But a key thing to keep in mind, is that I had a coach and other teammates to train with. This helped me believe I could reach goal and gave me the tools to do so.

I think you can probably get the analogy here.
