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.[1] |
| 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.[2] |
