Talking to oneself - CONTINUUM

Talking to oneself - CONTINUUM
Our biggest problem is our restlessness. What we need most is a restful mind. How do we acquire a restful mind? Among the many techniques prescribed by the masters, it is said that 'japa' (continuous repetition of a mantra) is the easiest. I was wondering, instead of repetition of a mantra, why don't we simply talk to ourselves continously (silently, of course). This way we would be able to acquire proficiency in the language. Language has as its soul logic. So in usage of language our mind becomes logical too. It is important that we seek to use language approaching the level of literature when we converse to ourselves. This will make us more refined.
I've called my little technique 'CONTINUUM'. There are other aspects to CONTINUUM. I'll spill the beans in future posts.
