How to attain concentration? There are no short cuts. Constant practice is needed. In the beginning, it is a great thing if by chance we get even one or two minutes of concentration in an hour. We should make continuous and sincere effort without stopping until we gain one pointed concentration.
Spend each moment intensely focused on the spiritual goal of life. Take a pledge to put effort in this direction.
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.
Where there is concentration, there is harmony. Happiness is derived from concentration of the mind. Whatever we focus on we will become that.
Our efforts to remove hatred and indifference from the world begin by trying to remove them from our own mind.
Love is the center-point of life. We should perform all our actions while remaining focused on this center-point.
The only way to put an end to the ruler of these negative thoughts and emotions is to develop awareness.
