Of our thinking it is but the upper surface that we shape in

Summary

This quote suggests that our conscious thoughts and arguments only represent the surface level of our thinking. Beneath this superficial layer, there exists a deeper region of meditation where a more profound and introspective mental activity takes place. It implies that there is a subconscious realm of contemplation and reflection that influences our understanding and perspective, beyond what we actively think and articulate in discourse. This quote highlights the importance of delving into this hidden realm, suggesting that true understanding and insights lie in the depths of our meditation.
