To face different situations in life with presence of mind and mental poise, first we have to train the mind.
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.
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 mind always has expectations. In order to experience pure consciousness, this nature of the mind must disappear.
When karma (action) is performed with awareness and compassion as its driving force, it accelerates one’s spiritual journey.
Chant your mantra while engaged in work. This way, the mind will be continuously focused on Him.
