Take a piece of paper. Keep it in sunlight. What do you think, how long will it take to burn the paper? - The paper won't burn for a long time, right?
Now take a magnifying lens, and focus the sunlight on a point. Now, how long will it take to burn the paper? A few seconds.
What do we learn from this?
The same sunlight, which could not burn the paper for hours without concentration, could in fact burn the paper in mere seconds when concentrated (at one point). What the magnifying glass here does is that, it intensifies the sunlight and focuses it at one point on the paper. Just like the sunlight, we too have too much brain power, but because of our unsteady mind we can’t focus it on a specific work. Just like sunlight, we too need a magnifying glass in our life, which not only concentrates our focus on the work but also intensifies it …This magnifying glass is called meditation.
