Question: If we have a problem, if we sit and try to quieten the mind, will the solution tend to come to us? 

Babaji:

You need to control the thoughts. It is the thoughts being out of control, which causes the problem. It is like when you drive the car you want to be driving it on the road in a safe way - under control - so it is not a danger to yourself or others. When you want to take it to the home and park it there quietly, then you should be able to do it. In the same way you should be able to control the mind so that the thoughts are not just running uncontrollably. If the thoughts are simply running and not controlled, then it can be a problem to you and to others.
