Please read quotes 1314-1315 in The Seven Steps to Awakening with your inner teacher. Here is the last quote:
There are two kinds of impediments which act as obstacles for the mind to achieve Self-abidance, and hence two kinds of strength of mind are essential for overcoming them. The first strength is that which is required to prevent the mind from branching out into innumerable thoughts through the force of tendencies towards the sense-objects. The second strength is that which is required to direct the mind (the power of attention) towards the first person or Self, that is, the strength actually to attend to Self.
Note: The next Daily Contemplation will be available tomorrow morning after 2am ET at this link.
