Studies strengthen the mind and turn its concentration away from the impulses and desires of the vital. Concentrating on study is one of the most powerful ways of controlling the mind and the vital; that is why it is so important to study. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/17/28-january-1935#p2</ref>
...the disappearance of the uneasiness is the very natural result of concentrating the mind on study, which on the one hand provides it with a healthy activity, and on the other draws its attention away from this morbid contemplation of the little physical ego. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/17/3-december-1934#p2 </ref>
When you are at school, you must become the concentration which tries to catch what the teacher is saying, or the thought which enters you or the knowledge you are given. That is what you must be. You must not think of yourself but only of what you want to learn. And you will see that your capacities will immediately be doubled. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/04/26-april-1951#p36 </ref>
Do what I explained to you yesterday—make ... make your brain work by studying regularly and systematically; then during the hours when you are not studying, your brain, having worked enough, will be able to rest and it will be possible for you to concentrate in the depths of your heart and find there the psychic source; with it you will become conscious of both gratitude and true happiness. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/12/study#p56 </ref>
