Concentration means fixing the consciousness in one place or on one object and in a single condition.
|
Meditation can be diffusive, e.g. thinking about the Divine, receiving impressions and discriminating, watching what goes on in the nature and acting upon it etc.<ref>Sri Aurobindo. sabcl/23/sadhana-through-meditation-i</ref>

|Concentration does not mean meditation; on the contrary, concentration is a state one must be in continuously, whatever the outer activity.
|
To keep constantly a concentrated and in-gathered attitude is more important than having fixed hours of meditation.<ref>The Mother. cwm/16/letters-to-a-young-sadhak-vi</ref>
