The mind is noisy

You know, in the case of most of us, the mind is noisy, everlastingly chattering to itself , soliloquizing or chattering about something, or trying to talk to itself, to convince itself of something; it is always moving, noisy. And from that noise, we act. Any action born of noise produces more noise, more confusion. But if you have observed and learnt what it means to communicate, the difficulty of communication, the non-verbalization of the mind - that is, that communicates and receives communication - , then, as life is a movement, you will, in your action, move on naturally, freely, easily, without any effort, to that state of communion. And in that state of communion, if you enquire more deeply, you will find that you are not only in communion with nature, with the world, with everything about you, but also in communion with yourself.

No ... you should read about Communication Theory it will explain the terms used here.

Nosie is wasted effort and a degrading of communication in the metaphysical domain this translates to us speaking to ourselves in pointless self debate. The idea here is to allow oneself to operate by minimising noise.

Don't think about doing good, just do good for thinking about it will delay the doing of it.

It has been presented in a nice way, however there is a caution here worth noting. Those drunk people who act upon whim without assessing impact of their actions can end up causing more destruction. Those people who should minimise noise should only be those who are guided by good people, otherwise 'noise' can be a good thing.

Sometimes it holds us back...whenever I feel myself 'slipping' into the past I put my headphones on and listen to music or recite a Surah

It's never quiet
