________________
There are 158 energies in us, either static or dynamic.
The capital in concentration necessary for a practitioner is partly right knowledge and right action. The science of psychology is explanatory of knowledge without judging it good or bad. Ethics is the science of right living; ethics is legislative and gives some ideal goal to which, leaving the life which now is, we should travel. It dictates the life we should follow towards other living beings. Ethics deals with values and with truth.
There are two purposes of concentration and the process is different in each case. The one is for increasing our knowledge and the other is for improving the life.
