Mental Activity

For a totally non-original post, I'm gonna repeat something interesting I heard over the weekend:

Ordinary mind is the everyday state of mind where we have many disconnected thoughts running through our minds.
Contemplation is the state where thoughts are directed to one particular topic.

Concentration is the state of having just one thought.  Like focusing on a mantra, image, etc.

Meditation is the state of having no thoughts.
