'Thoughtlessness' / 'Thoughtful'
_____________________________
In the evolution of 'consciousness', 'thought' is but a stage and an instrument.
'thoughtlessness' may mean either a stage when your 'vocabulary' is 'zero', Or, there be yet another level when you have a big / stupendous vocabulary, and you can see a state of mind during waking times that is as much silent as we have in our deep dreamless sleep. Yet we are at peace and perfectly 'awake'. And no thought interferes in our that perfect harmonious state of mind.
That is 'Thoughtlessness' of 'Buddha'.
Patanjali in His treaty on yoga describes in the very first aphorism :
योगश्चित्तवृत्तिनिरोधः
--
yogaścittavṛttinirodhaḥ
--
This is also a kind of 'thoughtlessness'. And in this state of mind, one is fully ready to attain the most desirable state of mind that may lead one to Enlightenment.
Only a Thoughtful mind can see / understand the difference between the two entirely different kinds of the States of Thoughtlessness of mind.
