It depends on what we take the mind to be.
To me mind is Akash, empty space. It is, still and quiet. That is its nature. We have to do nothing to make it quiet, just as we cannot do anything to disturb it.
If we take it to be an organ of the body then it would be functioning as long as we are alive. That is not disturbance. That is the way it is.
It then comes down to the notions that we hold based on our limited exposure to life on planet Earth. As we open up by travel, physical and intellectual, we would experience all that existence is; peace, beauty, adventure etc.
