Sai Inspires from Prasanthi Nilayam October 04, 2015

Why should we perfect the art of concentration? Bhagawan explains to us the

purpose and benefit of all learning.
When people complain that they cannot concentrate, I laugh, for even
the driver of a car is a master of the art of concentration. The taxi driver
does not pay heed to the chatter from the seat behind or to the radio.
He is watching the road ahead with single-pointed attention. If you have
earnestness and faith (shraddha), more than half the battle is won. That
is why, Krishna asks Arjuna, "Have you listened to what I have said with
one-pointed attention?" Arjuna, even in the midst of the opposing
armies in the battle-field, affirmed he listened to the words of the Lord
with keen concentration. Practice concentration and it will stand you in
good stead. Also, do not mistake the technique for the goal; do not lose
your way in the tangle of scholarship. Scholarship and learning are only
the means for the mastery of the Mind, to turn it from the Creation to the
Creator.
- Divine Discourse, Jan 22, 1960.

The essence of education is concentration of the mind and not collection of facts. Baba
