A Million Thoughts: Learn All About Meditation from a Himalayan Mystic

by Om Swami

One pointed concentration cuts through the complicated mesh of intertwined thoughts like shafts of water cut through stone. No matter how warm a day, the sunlight outside does not melt plastic or set your newspaper on fire. Pass the same sunlight through a lens and it turns into a beam. The beam, made from nothing else but pure sunlight, can create fire in a matter of seconds. Concentration is the beam of your mental energy. The power that isn’t available to a million intelligent thoughts is easily accessible to a single concentrated thought.

A good meditator performs every action with utmost mindfulness.

Our mindless behaviour is the primary cause behind most of our suffering.
