CONCENTRATION WITHIN -- KEY OF THE SADHANA

Sadhana can be easier with bhava of love. Even this can not be implemented with the soul. What can be done now? The divine consciousness within guru is not useful to the sadhak's development till his mind, intellect, prana, chitta and ego do not become one with the sat-guru's consciousness with love, devotion and knowledge, while keeping the living and creative awareness of the purpose of his life. Mind has a habit of roaming in variety of subjects so it is good to create the habit of thinking about only one subject. Keep the mind focused on only one subject. Bring the mind back if it tries to move from the subject. If it is possible for the sadhak to keep the mind focused on genuine goodwill and smaran (remembering with love) of sat-guru' consciousness, then it can be done. This may be possible to do and can be easier. Sadhak needs to be even more careful and aware here. True understanding of the life will start only when we experience being focused and concentrated within, without taking the help of the gross. Know that this is the beginning of the dismantling of the present level of sentient being. One who has gained real knowledge; his concentration within is never disturbed. We need to dive within (focused) and then coming up and living our lives accordingly. This is the real living. At such times life's problems will be solved automatically. We have only one work to do and that is to keep our mind focused on sadhana. We need to do this while performing works in worldly life, in relationships and our behavior with others at the same time keeping awareness of the purpose.

Nature of the mind is to wander around but if we make it concentrate and focused, it will be easier for the mind to do above things.
