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.
To face different situations in life with presence of mind and mental poise, first we have to train the mind.
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.
Concentration and love are one - like two sides of a coin. Love should be there if you want concentration.
The mind always has expectations. In order to experience pure consciousness, this nature of the mind must disappear.
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.
