The vital point in concentration is to bring the mind to the same point again and again, by limiting its movements in a small circle in the beginning. That is the main aim. A time will come when the mind will stick to one point alone.

There should be one line of thought only.

There should be continuity of thought, like the steady flow of oil from one vessel to another, like the continuous sound of a church bell.

You must be very regular in your practice of meditation. You must sit daily both in the morning and evening at the same hour. The meditative mood will manifest by itself without much exertion. You must sit in the same place, in the same room. Regularity in meditation is of great importance and is a sine qua non.

Even if you do not realize any tangible result in the practice, you must plod on with faith, sincerity, patience, earnestness and perseverance. All your efforts will be crowned with success after some time. Do not stop this practice even for a day, under any circumstance, even if you are ailing.

Meditation is a first-class tonic. The wave of meditation will remove all sorts of diseases.

It will infuse spiritual strength and give new vigor and vitality.
