To drive a car, shape a pot on a wheel, weave a design, or weed a plot of land - all these jobs require single-minded attention. To walk along life's highway which is full of hollows and mounds, to talk to one's fellow men who are of manifold temperaments - all these also require concentration. The senses have to be reined in so that they may not distract or disturb; the brain must not go wool gathering and the emotions must not colour or discolour the objectives one seeks. That is the way to succeed in concentration. Yoga is chitta vritti nirodha - the cutting off of all agitations on the lake of one's mind. Nothing should cause a wave of emotion or passion on the calm surface or in the quiet depths of one's awareness. This state of equanimity is the hallmark of Jnana (spiritual wisdom).Sadhana (spiritual discipline) is the drug and Vichara(Inquiry) is the regimen that will cure man of all waywardness and agitation.
