Concentration and Focus
The notions of concentration and focus mean that whenever humankind faces a subject or stumbles upon new knowledge, he should focus and concentrate all his energy and senses to comprehend it thoroughly. This notion is the only way to comprehend and digest a subject correctly.
However, if attention and concentration are absent, if one cannot focus on a subject, and if the words of the teacher fall on deaf ears, the student sees the words in a book but digests nothing. The only outcome will be a weary mind. Furthermore, the mind will be worn and powerless and resentful, like a prisoner caught in chains.
Let us examine the subject in its simplest form: the teacher’s lessons fall deaf upon the ears of students whose minds wander, like a hammer pounding on a church bell, echoing in their heads, though the words are incoherent to them.
Inevitably they become weary, mentally fatigued, and upset. Maybe everyone has already experienced this situation for themselves.
