Question: <\/b> How shall I improve my concentration?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Answer: <\/b> Concentration is the natural state of a healthy mind. We need not improve it all. A healthy mind is naturally concentrated on the subject which it likes more. The problem with us is we like many things at a time and disturb the natural concentration of the mind.
\nTo keep in its natural state of concentration you should give a specific goal, which you like very much in your life. That can be only one. That is called \u201cThe goal\u201d of your life.<\/p>\n

To achieve this Main goal, you can have subsidiary goals which will help you in achieving that main goal.
\nIn our scriptures there are 4 main goals mentioned for any human being.<\/p>\n

1. Artha \u2013 Wealth<\/p>\n

2. Kama – Sense Enjoyments<\/p>\n

3. Dharma \u2013 Righteousness<\/p>\n

4. Moksha – God Realisation.
\nYou can choose any one of them as your main goal of life and make other goals as subsidiary ones. To achieve any goal you should pay the price accordingly. If you select the God as your life\u2019s goal then your life will be successful along with peace and joy. If you make Dharma (Righteousness) as your Life\u2019s goal, then you will succeed in worldly life without any sorrow. But, if you make \u2018Wealth & Sense enjoyments\u2019 as your life\u2019s goal, then suffering is inevitable. So be thoughtful while deciding your life\u2019s goal. After deciding the goal learn to love that goal and Struggle consistently and systematically to achieve that goal in righteous way.
\nHowever, to keep the mind healthy in general you can observe the following disciplines in day to day life.<\/p>\n

1. Healthy food \u2013 avoid all types of food which will make you addict and weak.<\/p>\n

2. Physical Exercise \u2013 which suits to your temperament and makes you strong physically.<\/p>\n

3. Reading Habit \u2013 Life of teachings of Sages and Mahatmas which gives us mental clarity.<\/p>\n

4. Proper attitude \u2013 This life is for gaining knowledge of the Facts and not for enjoyments.<\/p>\n

5. Naama japa \u2013 Repeating the name of the Lord whom you like very much.<\/p>\n

6. Service \u2013 Serving the poor and needy as much as possible.<\/p>\n

7. Sadhu Sangha \u2013 Relationship with good and noble people.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
