Self-Realization Fellowship monk Brother Govindananda shares insights from the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda on the importance of learning to control the mind through deep attention and concentration — to achieve success in our everyday lives, and in particular with our practice of meditation.
Brother Govindananda brings into this talk recent scientific discoveries that help us understand our natural ability to concentrate and focus the mind. And he highlights not only what paying deeper attention can bring to our lives — but how to do it.
This talk was recorded in March 2022 at the SRF Fullerton Temple.
“Scientific concentration means to gather all attention to a center, by cutting off attention from its entanglements in outer objects of senses and the thoughts they rouse,” Paramahansa Yogananda says in the Self-Realization Fellowship Lessons.
Brother Govindananda shares this quote and others from the Lesson “Mastering the Power of Concentrated Attention,” as he discusses the importance of using yoga techniques to increase concentration.
