John, actually the word inertia suggests a dull mind to me, one under the influence of tamas guna. Whereas the phrase noisy mind suggests one having more of a rajasic tendency. I think conditioning could give rise to either situation and that situation could be ever changing depending on one's prakriti or inherent nature, which I bet can be seen in the jyotish chart. My guess is that those with kapha constitution would be relatively stable if a bit leaning in the dull direction. Pitta people would tend to rajasic minds. I think restful alertness is a great solution, infinite dynamism balanced by infinite silence. Maharishi explained that between these two arises infinite wakefulness.

But having a noisy mind appears to be an indication of an inertia due to having a conditioned mind.
