Thought Power by Concentration

[Guest guest]

There is no limit to the power of human thought. The more concentrated the human

mind is, the more power is brought to bear on one point.

 

The rays of the mind are scattered in the case of the worldly-minded persons.

There is dissipation of mental energy in various directions. For purposes of

concentration, these scattered rays have to be gathered by the practice of

concentration and then the mind must be made to turn towards God.

 

Cultivate attention, you will have good concentration. A serene mind is fit for

concentration. Keep the mind serene. Be cheerful always. Then alone can you

concentrate. Be regular in your concentration. Sit in the same place, at the

same time, 4 a.m.

 

Celibacy, Pranayama, reduction of wants and activities, dispassion, silence,

seclusion, discipline of the senses, Japa, control of anger, giving up reading

novels, newspapers and visiting cinemas are all aids to concentration.

 

Too much physical exertion, too much talking, too much eating, too much mixing

with worldly persons, too much walking, too much sexual indulgence, are

obstacles to concentration.
