REPLY BY RAJAN:
CONCENTRATION - The word itself means INVOLVING IN ONLY ONE
WORK AT A TIME. Therefore, if you do not
have concentration in studies, that definitely means YOU HAVE SOME OTHER
THOUGHTS ALSO while reading lessons and/ or hearing in class rooms.
If you tune the radio, the sound
will be clear if you exactly place the pointer at the frequency of a particular
channel. If you place the pointer
between the frequencies of any two channels, you can not hear both the channels
clearly.
Because, the frequency will be
received CLEARLY only when the right frequency is exactly pointed.
I usually give another example
for those who ask me advices. If you
keep a piece of paper on road under the sunlight, it will never burn even after
years. But, if you focus the same sun
light on the same paper using a lens, the paper will burn within seconds. How?
Because, without lens, the sun
light is scattered by the gases and dust particles in the atmosphere and hence it
loses its temperature and power.
Whereas, if you focus the same light as a dot on the paper, all the
scattered sun light are collected and focussed on a single point. So, it gains enormous power and temperature that
burns the paper into ashes.
So, if you use your mind in ONLY
ONE ACTIVITY at a time, you can grasp the contents of your text book effectively.
If you read the lessons and at the same time you are thinking of any betrayals,
cheatings, love, friendship, etc, your concentration is scattered and hence the
lessons do not get stored in brain permanently.
So, first evaluate yourself. You will agree that you have many thoughts
while studying.
You can take Narendra
Modi as an example (Sorry, I am not speaking politics. Since he is a popular recent example, I have
used his name). Immediately after he was
announced as the Prime Ministerial candidate for his party in India, he started
his campaign all over India. He never
concentrated in any other arguments, activities for about 6 months. He, as a single preacher, travelled more
than 3 lakh kilometres all over India that is a record. He spoke in 100s of meetings. His only target was to bring his party and
himself in power.
What happened? He made a record by coming to power getting a
thumping majority in the general elections.
Hence, there is a stable government in the centre.
What is the reason for his
achievements? His DETERMINATION and
SINGLE MINDED EFFORTS. Nothing
else. Though he might have been backed
by financial support from his party, it was his efforts that made his elevation
from a chief minister of Gujarat to the Prime Minister of India.
So, Concentrate in a single activity at a
time. THIS IS THE ONLY TECHNIQUE
RECOMMENDED BY ALMOST ALL PSYCHOLOGISTS FOR IMPROVING CONCENTRATION WITHOUT ANY
NEED FOR TRAINING.
If you have another work to do,
stop studying the lessons, go and complete that another work SINGLE MINDEDLY and
take a pause and then again start studying SINGLE MINDEDLY.
Many thoughts will be there
during teen age student period. But, if
you realize that only these 2-3 years are going to write the destiny of your entire
life in future, you will start to give importance for studies.
Only these 5-6 text books are
going to bring you lakhs of rupees/ dollars of earnings in future. Therefore, see those text books as Bank Pass
books, not just books.
Remember, this world is becoming highly competitive
now. If you lag behind, others will
overtake you and succeed. No mercy, No
compassion.
Therefore, put your faith in Lord and Concentrate in
studies single mindedly and effectively with a calm mind.
Hope these tips will help.
