Restlessness impatience irritability all similar states of consciousness. Each moment we live we have to deal with these frustrations and each moment we do so valiantly Practicing the presence, mantras and observing our behavior Asking assistance along the way. Since there is moving at a constant change in this material world we live in we get quite used to it and it being in any static State leaves us restless.
The best way to put it I can think of is that our consciousness is like a jar of water. In this jar are sand particles. When someone takes the jar and shakes it up those particles just whirl around in Chaos. The world is a similar thing to us. World puts us in a whirl. It takes some time to settle down and watch all the particles floor back down to the bottom so again we can see clear and experience clear and feel peace. This is what the meditation techniques are all about this is what it they help us do just settle down quicker to go in that state where all our thoughts are settled down from the chaos of the world.
