In one of His deeply inspiring Satsangs, Hazir Swaroop Sai Sadhram Saheb beautifully explained the profound importance of being focused.
To illustrate this, Saijan gave relatable examples. He said that when we sit with our family, our loved ones naturally expect warmth, attention, and togetherness. But if our minds are elsewhere, distracted or preoccupied, we miss out on these precious moments. This lack of focus not only distances us emotionally but also weakens our bond with our family. By not being mentally and emotionally present, we lose the opportunity to play a responsible and nurturing role in the family. Only when we consciously engage with our loved ones can we build a strong, joyful family environment.
Similarly, during business meetings or office work, if our attention drifts and our thoughts wander, we fail to contribute meaningfully. This inattentiveness affects our performance and can lead to setbacks and missed opportunities. To make progress in any field, our presence, both physical and mental, must be aligned and intentional.
Saijan also emphasized that focus and presence of mind are equally essential even while playing sports. True involvement requires alertness, awareness, and the ability to remain anchored in the present moment.
Presence of mind means being completely present, body, mind, and spirit—in the now.
To cultivate such focus, Saijan lovingly guided that we must make it a daily habit to sit in Dhyan (meditation) with punctuality, once in the morning and once in the evening at a fixed time. When we dedicate ourselves sincerely to this practice, it becomes a natural and cherished part of our routine, and we no longer feel like skipping it.
Meditation is not difficult, but many people shy away from it simply because they feel it yields no results, often without giving it an honest try. But if we devote just half an hour in the morning and half an hour in the evening with regularity and sincerity, we will begin to notice significant changes within ourselves. Our thoughts become clearer, our decisions wiser, and our fears and confusion begin to fade. We begin to understand the vastness and strength of our own mind and learn how to channel its immense power purposefully.
Hazir Swaroop Sai Sadhram Saheb said that with sincere and consistent practice, we begin to illuminate ourselves through the radiant power of the mind. This inner transformation leads to growth, success, and prosperity in all areas of life, be it personal, professional, or spiritual.
Saijan explained that clear thinking and precise execution are the keys to rising high in life. So, stay focused—and never allow yourself to fall short of the beautiful life you are meant to live.
