An artist paints with focus; the painting becomes complete only through ekagrata (one-pointedness). Similarly, whatever is our goal, we need focus on that to make it complete.
We need to focus on our destination. Let the thoughts arising in your mind pass by, like watching scenery through the window of a car. The thoughts cannot affect you if you don't allow them to capture your attention.
The vision of God is possible with the power that is gained through concentration of the mind. At that time we will come to know that God is everywhere, everything is God.
Let us focus on what we can give to others—not on what we can get for ourselves. Only then can we bring about a total transformation in our global family.
A mind clouded by attachment cannot distinguish between right and wrong.
Our efforts to remove hatred and indifference from the world begin by trying to remove them from our own mind.
When a flower is still a bud, we cannot experience its beauty or fragrance. We have to wait patiently for the bud to unfold on its own. Only then can we fully experience its beauty and fragrance.
