Hmmm after looking at this post after a few months, I see I was right, but I did not understand all of the eastern philosophy.
The gurus that claim there is no-thought are wrong, some of them know that it is an illusion but nevertheless teach there is no-thought (just because it is a necessary step in the process of learning yourself). This is why I like U.G. Krishnamurti, he knows his stuff.

There is no thoughtless state because you cannot separate yourself from your thoughts, you ARE the thoughts. The division of the observer is an illusion, this is what the truly enlightened people claim.
One technique to get to this realization is to meditate on a single word, or thought, or image all day long. I came to this understanding by accident, mostly by reading U.G. and R.A. Wilson.
