Rohan Prasad's Key Ideas from The Art of Concentration
by Harriet Griffey

1. Distraction is the instability of one's mind. Even if you feel the sensation to do something different rather than your work or study. That feeling can also be termed as a distraction.
2. We choose distraction. Amazed, huh?

• A trigger comes from the sorroundings which tells your mind to diverge & then comes a small interval of time, in which we are needed to make a decision on whether or not to get distracted. Then, we unconsciously choose to get distracted.

Yes, we choose the distraction

"Until you change the unconscious to conscious, distraction will direct your life & you will call it fate.

"Know the cause of the disease to cure it perfectly", of course.

As I have said, we choose ourselves to get distracted.

• But, how and why do we choose?

We choose it on the basis of our instincts, for instant pleasure. The greed for that pleasure is so much powerful that we don't even think about our future.

• But a question arises, why is it so much powerful?

The answer is, It is not powerful. Actually, our patience, our intellect, our wisdom is very weak; & It is necessary to empower it in order to tackle this Distraction Disease.

So, Root Cause is the weakness of our intellect, our own wisdom.
