00:00There are people I have seen working three jobs, full-time jobs in one go.
00:04How can they concentrate?
00:05If I tell you concentrate on this and from here, a million dollars will rain on you.
00:10You will immediately concentrate on this.
00:11But sooner than later, you will discover that no dollars are going to rain from there.
00:15And then what will happen to your concentration?
00:17Please focus a million dollars.
00:19Then somebody else comes up and says focus on this, a trillion dollars.
00:23What happens to the concentration?
00:25Gone.
00:25That's the thing with concentration.
00:26It cannot remain stable and that's why there is a problem in concentrating.
00:30Have you experienced that problem?
00:31The thing is, dollars won't rain neither from here nor from there.
00:36And therefore, we are never able to fully focus on concentrate on any one thing.
00:40Attention is a different thing.
00:42In attention, there is love.
00:44You are not approaching the thing with desire.
00:47You want to know.
00:48You are genuinely interested.
00:50And therefore, attention is stable.
00:52For that, you must have something worth attending to.
00:55Because attention basically means service.
00:58You will have to figure out something you can fall in love with.
01:00And then there will be no problem of concentration.
