ATTENTION
The Ultimate Antidote for Tension
Attention Is Not Just What You Focus On—It’s Who You Become
Attention is not a passive state—it’s an active choice. Every time you check your phone, scroll through social media, or let your mind wander to worry, you’re making a choice about what you value and who you’re becoming.
Your attention determines your experience of reality.
Modern life is designed to fracture your attention. From notifications to infinite scroll, every digital interface is engineered to hijack your focus. Your brain physically changes based on where you place your attention. By consciously directing your focus, you actively sculpt your neural pathways and build the person you want to become.
Where your attention goes, your life flows.
External forces are constantly competing for your attention. In a world where billions of dollars are spent engineering systems to capture and monetize your attention, the ability to deliberately direct your pure focus is not just a skill—it’s a superpower.
You have far more control over your attention than you believe. Learning to protect your attention is an act of self-awareness & preservation.
Those who master their attention master their lives. Those who lose control of their attention lose everything that matters.
Attention is the Divine Door
All throughout life, people search for happiness outside them – in particular person, position, place, possession, progression etc.
Look around and you will certainly observe that most people are stuck in this materialistic mess. They really do not know what is the way out of this mess. So helplessly and hopelessly, with a heavy heart, most individuals drag their life like a heavy burden.
They live their life but have forgotten what it feels to be alive anymore.
Let me tell you today that the way out of this situation is the way in.
Peace is not outside you; it is your very nature. It springs from the core of your being; by knowing yourself as you are in the light of absolute attention.
So, go within and tap into your natural grace through the power of your own amazing attention. Everybody is alert of his existence all the time and one can always use this attention to return to the source.
Attention is a divine door which connects you back to your natural Source; the same door which takes you out also lets you in. You do not need any special kind of attention; the same attention which you divert outside need to be diverted inside.
Attention is Timeless
The Source is timeless existence and it can only be reached by the timeless. In this moment, our body and mind are both subject to time; only Attention is Timeless.
Attention is not a new experience. It is the timeless factor in every experience. It makes all experiences possible; yet it is not an experience in itself.
Attention is the core vital force of your body-mind structure. It remains untouched by all your conscious and unconscious mental activity.
Attention enables you to see, but you cannot see it. Attention enables you to listen, but you cannot hear it. Attention enables you to smell, but you cannot smell it. Attention enables you to taste, but you cannot taste its flavor. Attention enables you to touch, but you cannot touch its texture.
Attention enables you to think, but you cannot conceptualize it.
The key reason which makes Attention a divine door to reality is that it brings you back to this moment, here and now. Attention is always pulsating in the present moment and it has the direct ability to interact with the life force without any interference of thoughts.
In this moment to be , you do not need to think; rather, to think, you need to be.
Attention right here, right now stands alone and is beyond the play of memory and imagination. To exist in totality right here, right now, you do not need thoughts, as attention is enough in itself.
This book explores the power of attention as a tool to reconnect with one’s inner self.
This book is just a door between the known and the unknown – so pass through it and then forget about it forever.
Om Shanti – ॐ शान्तिः
