We cannot do anything without concentration. We must concentrate
even in small worldly tasks. But when we try to think of God,
we get restless, and the mind becomes unstable. Why do we
do the things of the world with full concentration? Why? Because
we are fully interested in it. And with God we have these
doubts. We have full concentration in whatever work we love
deeply. Concentration is not full when we do work that we
don’t love deeply.
A small example: you are driving a car. At
the same time you are talking to some passengers. The road
becomes narrow and dangerous. You say, “Please let us
not talk now, I must give full concentration to the driving.”
Why do you say this? It is because you deeply love your life
and you must concentrate thoroughly to avoid an accident.
Because you have this love for your body, you concentrate
on its safety. When you have profound love for God, then concentration
on Him will come automatically.
H: But that is the point, there is the whole
point.
