HOW TO IMPROVE CONCENTRATION?

THE EYE OF THE PARROT

First step is realizing the significance of concentration.

In this regard one can recall the story of the great Archer, Arjuna and his brothers while learning archery from Guru Dronacharya.

Guru Dronacharya gave all of them a test wherein they were required to take aim at the eye of a parrot sitting on a  branch of the tree. Then the Guru asked each one of the students what he was seeing. Every student answered in a different way.

One said I can see the blue sky and the parrot.

Another said I can see green  branch and the parrot.

Another one said I can see all the blue sky,the green  branch,and the parrot.

Arjuna said I can see only eye of the parrot.

Guru Dronacharya was pleased with the answer and told his students that the level of one's   concentration should be like that of Arjuna.

The moral of the story is obvious.

One's set goal is eye of the parrot. The branch of tree, the blue sky, and all other things  together  have potential to distract one self away from the goal.

Therefore one has to identify the things likely to create hurdle by causing distraction in the path of pursuing one's set goal. Having identified so,one should remove them effectively at once.

With intense desire to achieve the set goal and realizing the need  to concentrate on the set goal one can identify and modify ways to concentrate and pursue the goal in effective manners.

One's sarasar vivek playes effective role in this direction.
