You should sit in meditation for ten minutes everyday – unless you’re too busy; then you should sit for an hour.
This is one of the greatest misconceptions. Concentration is thought to be meditation, concentration is not at all meditation; it is just the opposite of meditation. Concentration is a mind phenomenon. To concentrate upon something means you are focusing your mind on it.
In meditation you relax, in concentration you become tense. In meditation you are in a deep rest & alert at the same time. A bird starts singing in the woods, a dog barks in the neighborhood, a child starts crying; delicious smells floating in the air from the kitchen, the teacher is teaching a lecture, Your five senses are receiving, alert to all this but yet relaxed.
