Close Your Eyes
Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life – think of it, dream of
it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body,
be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to
success, that is the way great spiritual giants are produced.
– Swami Vivekananda
Try a very difficult exercise
today! Keep your eyes closed for a solid 10 minutes! Stop reading this; set the
timer in your mobile for 10 minutes; determine that you will remain eyes-closed for a solid 10 minutes, and close your
eyes. You should not open your eyes until the timer goes off. You will realise
how difficult it is.
Our mind and attention is mainly
distracted by our eyes and our ears. If only we control these two sensory
organs, we can substantially improve our concentration and focus. Whenever you
are travelling by a car (and if you are not driving!), try this self imposed
training. Focus all your attention on some important issue that you are
presently handling.
Try this today!
