Swami Vivekanand Ji has said that

concentration is the key to success. When you

put your energy in one direction, then

even the impossible becomes possible. Friends,

in the three stories of Swami Ji, we will see

how to divert attention from everywhere and focus on one task. In the

first story, Swami Ji was

resting in a park. There he

saw a boy who was trying to write a difficult shloka on a blank page, but

but

due to mistakes, he was tearing the page again and again

and was starting from a new page every time.

After some time, the attention of the boy went to Swami Ji. The

boy immediately went to him and bowed down and

said, Swami Ji, I have been

trying to write this shloka correctly for the last three hours,

but every time some mistake happens, due to which

I have to start from the beginning.

I do not understand why I am not

able to write. Swami Ji smiled and

said, son, this is happening only due to lack of focus

because an ordinary person spends

most of his energy in useless things and habits,

so the mind constantly wanders.

Working with concentration means putting all your

energy in one place and when

you do this again and again, the mind will not be able to do it. It will be ready

and will not repeat the mistake again The boy

asked Swami Ji, if the mind is wandering again and again,

then how can I concentrate on one task

Swami Ji asked, while writing, you must be

thinking about some person or incident The

boy said, yes Guru Ji, today on holiday

everyone gets time to play outside,

but I have to complete this work, perhaps that is

why I am not able to focus properly

Swami Ji said, okay, now understand these simple methods,

then you will be able to do your work with full concentration

Take deep breaths continuously Swami Ji

said, whenever your mind wanders, take five deep

breaths and remove your focus from both work and play and

bring it on your breath The more

you watch your breath, the more

your mind will start to calm down Feel the work,

when you are writing, feel everything closely

like the pen is touching your hand

and listen carefully to the sound that is being made while writing

When you

pay close attention to all things, then distraction will reduce and

your mind and body will

remain focused on only one task Your attention will become

so focused on work that you will

not even realize the time When the boy told Swami Ji Swami ji

listened to him and

started writing again taking deep breaths. He found that

his mistakes were decreasing and his work was also

completed quickly. He thanked Swami ji.

Swami ji

smiled and said, remember when the mind and

senses are involved in a work, then the

concentration becomes deep and this is the true success.

Second story: One day a young man

reached Swami Vivekanand ji.

Trouble and frustration were clearly visible on the face of the young man. He

told Swami ji that Swami ji, I have been

preparing for the exam for a long time. I have

tried many times but fail every time.

I am not able to understand where I am making a

mistake. Swami ji

listened to him carefully and then asked, do you really

want to pass the exam? The young man said,

yes Swami ji, I am ready to work very hard.

Just tell me

what I have to do. Swami ji took him with him

to an empty place where an old

candle and matchsticks were kept. He

gave a candle to the young man and said,

light this candle and take it to that tree standing at a little distance from here,

but keep in mind that the candle

should not be extinguished. Swami ji said this and

left from there. He lit the candle with a matchstick

and slowly started moving towards the tree with the candle. A

slight breeze blew on the way due to

which the flame of the candle started moving. The young man

tried his best to save it but the

candle got extinguished. The young man came back,

lit the candle again and started walking again. The young man

repeated this process many times but every time a

slight breeze extinguished the flame of the candle.

Finally, the tired young man came

back holding the extinguished candle in his hand and

said disappointedly, Swami ji, I failed in this also.

Swami ji said smilingly to the young man,

why? You just had to light the candle and

walk a little distance. The young man

said softly, Swami ji, I tried but

due to the wind the flame kept getting extinguished again and again. Swami

ji said, this is what you have to understand that

your mind is also like the flame of this candle

and the wind all around is a habit of distracting the attention.

Till you do not control these habits, the

flame of meditation will keep getting extinguished. Similarly,

till you do not concentrate completely on your goal,

you will

not be able to reach your destination. Therefore, concentrate your mind

and get completely immersed in whatever work you do.

Your efforts will definitely be fruitful. You will be successful and

remember that the basic element of all kinds of knowledge is meditation, so to do

anything you will have to

learn to concentrate at one place, the

mind will become like the habit you develop,

so do even the smallest work with concentration, by

doing this the nature of the mind will change,

then you will definitely get success. Third

story: A young man asked Swami ji that

how to let go of the thoughts coming in the mind,

Swami ji told the young man that I will tell you but

before that you have to give an exam, then

Swami ji filled a glass completely with water and gave it to the

young man

and said hold it and stand without spilling even a drop of water, the young

man said this is easy and took the

glass, everything was fine in the beginning

but after a while doubts started arising in his mind,

what difference will it make, after all

how long will I have to hold it like this,

as these thoughts started coming his

attention started getting distracted and water started spilling from the glass,

finally Swami ji said son, as long as

your mind was calm, the water did not fall,

but as soon as thoughts started coming in your mind, the

water started falling out, he

further explained that just like the blow of a hammer on hot iron

gives it a new shape, similarly your

thoughts give a new shape to your personality Give shape to the mind

Your mind is also like water in a glass

which can be easily distracted

If you want to keep the water i.e. mind stable, then

first you have to learn to stabilize all the thoughts

Now do one thing Hold this glass

again and bring your attention to your breath

Feel your breath coming and going in the stomach and chest

Let go of the pain and discomfort in the hand Let the

thoughts that are coming in the mind flow

Remind yourself that you are not the thought but a

person who is watching them from a distance By

remembering this, thoughts will come and go but will

not be able to distract the mind For a while, the

young man continued this practice and

stood without spilling even a single drop from the glass Swami

ji said keep practicing carefully like this

Gradually your mind will start becoming calm

and then doing any difficult work will become

natural for you After this the young

man returned home after thanking Swami ji
