00:00We are telling our kids all the time, you please concentrate on that.
00:03The kid has no love for that.
00:05How can the concentration have any depth?
00:07The problem is not that the mind is unstable.
00:10The problem is that the mind is thirsty for something very special and we are unable to
00:14provide that special thing to the mind.
00:17When you will be able to provide that thing to the mind, the mind will remain on that
00:21thing.
00:22Even if you tempt the mind or scare the mind, it will refuse to budge.
00:26Are you getting it?
00:27The problem of concentration is essentially the problem of an unworthy object.
00:31The problem of concentration or focus is essentially the problem of not having a worthy object
00:38in life.
00:39You must have something you can die for.
00:41You must have something that deserves your love.
00:44And then how will you forget that thing?
00:45Not possible.
00:46And without that love, you will just remain a wanderer.
