Human mind is always working.. Even during sleep! Thats how we get dreams..
It just keeps on thinking something... And when left uncontrolled, it can really go to any extreme! The controls or boundaries for a mind to think, depends on the individuals "principles of life".
Mind is so powerful that it can create the world it wants. I mean, not only it just thinks, it also gives life to the thoughts. It uses the body for executing what it wants. It gets the energy to think also from the body - through the food. Food really matters a lot for mind as well.. The kind of food that you eat can influence the thoughts your mind can produce. This is what yoga teachers and other personality development teachers tell us these days in all courses.. Avoiding onions, garlic, etc., can make a lot of difference in the way mind works..
Not eating anything will also affect the mind. It cant think properly. Discontinued thoughts, forgetting continuity, sudden blankness, etc can comes because of lack of energy - lack of food!
"Idle mind is devils workshop" - Basically mind is never idle. Thats the problem. I think its the uncontrolled or unfocused mind referred in this saying as well.. It just thinks without any goal and generates some random thoughts. These random thoughts can be just some kind of disconnected thoughts or these can be dangerous as well. Because, before we realize where it leads, it can lead you to think that the whole world is dangerous to live! People around are bad! etc etc! And, in a moment, a person can even go to the extent of suicide!
And the same mind is capable of thinking about small - lighter things and just being happy..
Just a little of control is what it needs. And to control it, consciousness is what needed. Ask questions like "Will I be happy after doing/saying this?". If ans is no, dont do it.
