Where there is concentration, there is harmony. Happiness is derived from concentration of the mind. Whatever we focus on we will become that.
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.
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.
Chant your mantra while engaged in work. This way, the mind will be continuously focused on Him.
Love is the center-point of life. We should perform all our actions while remaining focused on this center-point.
Concentration and love are one - like two sides of a coin. Love should be there if you want 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.
