Concentration Vs Attention || Acharya Prashant

Concentration is often fleeting, easily disrupted by the allure of greater rewards. When faced with competing interests, such as a promise of more money, focus shifts and becomes unstable. This instability arises not from a loss of concentration but rather from its redirection towards what appears more promising. True attention requires setting aside personal desires to understand things deeply; it contrasts sharply with concentration driven by desire which remains perpetually unfulfilled and transient.
