The importance of cutting the flow of disturbing thoughts in meditation cannot be overestimated. To meditate properly means to prevent the mind from wandering distractedly, and to place it so that it remains focused on a single object. If we have no object of meditation the mind becomes like a bird that wishes to land but cannot find any ground on which to do so. And if we have an object but our mind wanders elsewhere and everywhere, this is like a bird, who after landing on the ground, is unable to stand firmly in one place.
