→Why should one learn to concentrate?
----
It is well known that the value of a man is in proportion to his capacity of concentrated attention; the greater the concentration the more exceptional is the result, to the extent that a perfect and unfailing concentrated attention sets the stamp of genius on what is produced. <ref>The Mother. (1949). Concentration and Dispersion. In On Education (Collected Works of the Mother Volume 12). Retrieved from http://incarnateword.in/cwm/12/concentration-and-dispersion</ref>

The movement that stores up and concentrates is no less needed than the movement that spreads and diffuses.

Concentration does not aim for any effect, but is simple and persistent.
Concentration on a precise goal is helpful to development.
The more we concentrate on the goal, the more it blossoms forth and becomes precise.
The Yogi knows by his capacity for a containing or dynamic identity with things and persons and forces.
