The way I heard it described is that your brain, just like any other organ, has a function, and that is to produce thoughts. Just like you can't stop your heart or quit breathing, you can't stop your brain from thinking. Just like you can do things to speed up or slow down your heartbeat, or breathe more or less air, you can do things that influence your thoughts. But you can't shut it off entirely.

Woah. I love that explanation!
