An interesting passage :
"The restless mind is marked by several signs. It is dull, excited, or scattered, and never concentrated. Impulsive and hypersensitive, it has low frustration tolerance and is often guided by arbitrary whims and passing sentiments. Carried away by the waves of impulses, darkened by imaginations, unstable, fickle and full of desires, it is constant prey to delusions and fancies. It swings from self-pity to self-aggrandizement, from overoptimism to overpessimism. It is secretive and negative, divided and discontented. Harrassed by its own anxieties and tensions, it drifts aimlessly and is unable to find rest."
Another one from Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche (a little bit extreme but unfortunately real) :
"Rest in natural great peace
This exhausted mind,
Beaten relentlessly
by karma and neurotic thoughts,
Like the unceasing fury
of the pounding waves
In the infinite ocean of samsara.
Rest in the natural great peace."
