A person driving a car concentrates on the road, for he is anxious to save himself and others from accident. Fear is what induces single-mindedness in this case. Love is a greater force for achieving concentration. If you have steady and resolute love, the concentration becomes intense and unshakable. Faith develops into love and love results in concentration. Prayer begins to yield fruit, under such conditions. Pray using the Name as a symbol of the Lord; pray keeping all the waves of the mind stilled. Pray as the performance of a duty for your very existence, as the only justification for your coming into the world. Hold fast to the Lord. The Bhaktha (devotee) should never retract. Never give way to doubt or despair.
- BABA
