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 should acquire control of the mind and possess the power to stop it, like the brakes of a new car reduce the speed and stop the vehicle whenever necessary.
Chant your mantra while engaged in work. This way, the mind will be continuously focused on Him.
Even if we have everything, if there is no mental peace, we cannot lead a happy life.
True happiness is when the love that is within us finds expression in external activities.
Life should be like a pleasure trip. When we see a beautiful sight, a pretty house, or a flower on the way, we look at it and enjoy it. We enjoy the sights but we do not linger there, we simply move on.
