Concentration in the pure Soul or Self is the best medium for the best results.
Even a worldly man, engaged in every day life of bread earning, can achieve this to an appreciable height through constant practice, disciplined conduct, self-restrained-living and concentration in the Self.
Even a grain of mental concentration is better than none atall. This practice itself gathers momentum and develops slowly as time advances. But generally a clear conception and the right selection of the mental object has been most lacking due to diverse teachings and religious conception of different school of thinkers opposing each other. A direct approach to the right real faculties of the Pure Atman, as prescribed and contemplated or laid down in the Jain Philosophy, makes the final Realisation and perception simpler, easier and quicker.
Sometimes it becomes difficult to conceive how the same Atman can be contained in two different bodies of different sizes, for an example an elephant or an ant or still smaller a micro-organisin.
