CONCENTRATION BRINGS UNDERSTANDING

The more mindful we are, the more concentrated we are. The word for concentration in Sanskrit, samādhi, means steadiness, non-interruption, not wavering. The object of your concentration may be a cloud, a flower, or your anger. If your focus dies, and sometime later is born again, it’s not concentration. In the state of concentration, you keep your focus steady, even, and continuous. When our mindfulness and concentration are powerful, we can make a breakthrough and get an insight. Insight brings understanding and has the power to liberate us from ignorance, discrimination, craving, fear, anger, and despair.
