Mind as monkey !
One day, master was teaching his student how to meditate. Master said to student to concentrate on only one object and not to let the mind to wander as monkey. Student agreed. Then master left on some other work. Student started to meditate.
He sat on a place where it is almost clean and noise level is also less. He closed his eyes and tried to focus on only one object that is God. But to his dismay, whenever he tried to focus, the thing his master told him not to let mind to wander as monkey used to come before him. !
He tried very hard to forget all the unnecessary things but he could not. Atlast, fed up of this, he came back near his master and told him what had happened. Master was all smile. He said to his student that is how the concentration has to build up. If some other things comes to our mind also, we must not let it to continue and should carry on our goal.
Listening to that,again student went to meditate and this time he was successfull by following the method told by his master.

Medication and concentration on Lord takes long time to practice - when I was working in Dubai and was busy, I used to think "when I retire I have more time to meditate", but now find it more difficult to medicate than before!
