________________ Question: "Guruji how does one increase one's focus or concentration during sadhna or while doing normal work?" Answer: Kabir Das has said "Soone mandir mein diya jala kar aasan se mat dol re, tohe piya milenge Ghunghat ke pat khol re Tohe Piya mileinge” “Soone mandir mein” means “slow down the pace of your breathing”. When you sit on your aasan, and if your spinal chord droops, then your pace of breathing increases. The more your breathing increases, the more your mind becomes flighty. There is a relationship between your mind and your breath. “Aasan se mat dol re” means “erect your back bone”. The backbone needs to be straight, and your faith, devotion, and trust should not be shaken. When your devotion is shaken then the fruits that you can reap, will not be given. Imagine that there is water; if something falls in it it will become dirty. However, the same water, if frozen, is unaffected no matter what you put on it. Devotion is just like this frozen water or ice. If solid, then nothing can affect you. You will be successful if your devotion does not waver. Only then will you see the Lord..." ghoonghat ke path khol re"...means only then will the veil of illusion be lifted. When praying, the direction should be correct. The north is supposed to be the best direction, and if you are sleeping, your feet should never face the east. You can get headaches, many types of bad dreams may come, so in this way when you pray and you sleep, you should be careful of the direction.
