So many interpretations regarding the beginning of the Psalm, mine like yours is ' Self realisation ' Stilling the mind and getting rid of thoughts allows me to know rather than think. Not always easy though and the more you try the harder it becomes, it's a vicious circle. I realized it's something that is a happening rather than a doing. It happens when it happens.
Why you posted is not important but thanks for sharing.

I love the way you express yourself in saying that "stilling the mind and getting rid of thoughts allows me to know rather than think". EXCELLENT point.

As you also duly noted, "it's something that is a happening rather than a doing. It happens when it happens".

Forgive me for merely repeating verbatim what you wrote, but it's so good that I could not think of better words and thus I repeated what you wrote.
