CONCENTRATION
CONCENTRATION Some have control over their minds. Others don’t have that control because, apart from other reasons, physical and psychological, they have not been trained to concentrate. With concentration a person understands a subject better. We somehow cannot get hold of all the aspects of things, whereas another person can. One person at once sees all the different bearings of a certain situation; another person cannot. What is the matter with the second person? His mind is not concentrated; he is not trained in attention. When you concentrate the mind, there is something that produces knowledge. Concentration will not produce the machine you are inventing, but it will produce knowledge, which afterwards you can set down on paper, or make a model of. It is concentration which suddenly brings out an explanation of a mysterious phenomenon. You have to worry over it, hold the mind there, hold it, hold it, and then suddenly something comes out.
