Concentration of Mind
One day Swami Vivekanda was walking along a beach where
some people were swimming in the water and oithers were sunbathing. A little
while later, he noticed some boys trying to shoot rubber balls which were bouncing
up and down on the waves . he stopped and watched them for some time and
noticed that not one of them was able to hit the target.
The boys saw him standing there and called out excitedly
“Swamiji, can you hit this target?”
Swami Vivekananda had never touched a guan in his life
but now he piced up the gun and aimed at one of the bobbing balls. He bit it
right on. The boys were amazed that someone who had never handled a gun could
shoot like that. Thinking that is may be ‘beginner’s luch’ they asked him to
have another go . again he effortlessly hit the target. They were even more
surpirsed and begged him to do it again. This time also he did noit disappoint
them in fact. To clear any doubts they might have had, he hit the balls seven
times in a row. The boys were full of curiosity as to how did it. They
requested him to share his secret with them.
Swami Vivekanda explined. “It is very simple . Even more
unsteady than a ball lossing oin the waves is the human mind . when a person
has full contorl over the fluctins of the mind, feats like the one you have
just seen are childs’s play. If your mind is not concentrated, you cannot
achieve your aim, whatever it may be

Qoute from the True Charm and Power of Vedanta
Freedom in Boindage
According to the Hindu scriptures, the ideal man is the
who is in the world but not in it. That is to say, he is a person who does
everything he is required to d, but he does not feel that he is doing anything.
Is such a thing possible? If a person is doing anything,
how can be escape the feeling that he is doing something or other? It is
ridiculous to suggest that he will not feel that he is doing anything. If he
feels that way. He cannot be a normal person., something must be wroing with
him.
What is the idea the Hindu scriptures are trying to
project? They are trying to say that you should have no wish of you rown. If you do something; try to feel
that God is the doer and not you. You are a mere tool at His hands; He is using
you as He thinks best. You make a complete surrender to God and you are happy
that He is making use of you.
This can happen only when you are totally selfless. That
is to say, you are a perosn who lives for God, or if you prefer, for othes.
Because you are selfless, you have no wish of
your own except to please God or do some good to tohers,. You expect no
reward, your only concern is to do your best. Havng done tha, you are happy. Courtesy Vedanta in Practice
IF HE EXIST
I drive joy There was a doctor in Benaras who spent 7
minutes in the morning and evening for mediation on God. Knowing this, his
colleagues and friends laughed at him. One day they argued that he was wasting
seven precious minutes on something, which he had been misled into believing.
The doctor replied, “Well, if God does not exist, I agree that I am wasting
seven minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am afraid you are wasting your entire
lifetime. I prefer to waste seven minutes rather than a lifetime. Why should
you grudge me the 7minutes joy that I derive 4m.
