Without concentration one cannot achieve anything. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/12/study#p71</ref>
There is nothing in the human or even in the superhuman field, to which the power of concentration is not the key. You can be the best athlete, you can be the best student, you can be an artistic, literary or scientific genius, you can be the greatest saint with that faculty. And everyone has in himself a tiny little beginning of it—it is given to everybody, but people do not cultivate it. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/09/23-july-1958#p18 </ref>
The ability of concentration is one of the greatest powers of the human mentality. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/21/the-divine-and-the-undivine#p16</ref> Whatever one may want to do in life, one thing is absolutely indispensable and at the basis of everything, the capacity of concentrating the attention. If one is able to gather together the rays of attention and consciousness on one point and can maintain this concentration with a persistent will, nothing can resist it—whatever it may be, from the most material physical development to the highest spiritual one. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/09/23-july-1958#p15</ref>
