We must learn to conquer this, and to go back within ourselves into the beam of perceiving consciousness itself, which is a beam of the Oversoul. WE MUST LEARN TO CONQUER THIS AND TO GO BACK WITHIN OURSELVES INTO THE BEAM OF PERCEIVING CONSCIOUSNESS ITSELF WHICH IS A BEAM OF THE OVER SOUL
h winning. For a concrete example, take the gradual conquest of each day, the effort to live that day for the Soul. To him that is faithful unto death, the Master gives the crown of life. 11. The gradual conquest of the mind’s tendency to flit from one object to another, and the power of one-pointedness, make the development of Contemplation. As an illustration of the mind’s tendency to flit from one object to another, take a small boy, learning arithmetic. He begins: two ones are two; three ones are three-and then he thinks of three coins in his pocket, which will purchase so much candy, in the store down the street, next to the toy-shop, where are base-balls, marbles and so on,—and then he comes back with a jerk, to four ones are four. So with us also. We are seeking the meaning of our task, but the mind takes advantage of a moment of slackened attention, and flits off from one frivolous detail to another, till we suddenly come back to consciousness after traversing leagues of space.  A MASTERY WORTH WINNING FOR A CONCRETE EXAMPLE TAKE THE GRADUAL CONQUEST OF EACH DAY THE EFFORT TO LIVE THAT DAY FOR THE SOUL TO HIM THAT IS FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH THE MASTER GIVES THE CROWN OF LIFE SUTRA ELEVEN THE GRADUAL CONQUEST OF THE MIND'S TENDENCY TO FLIT FROM ONE OBJECT TO ANOTHER AND THE POWER OF ONE POINTEDNESS MAKE THE DEVELOPMENT OF CONTEMPLATION AS AN ILLUSTRATION OF THE MIND'S TENDENCY TO FLIT FROM ONE OBJECT TO ANOTHER TAKE A SMALL BOY LEARNING ARITHMETIC HE BEGINS TWO ONES ARE TWO THREE ONES ARE THREE AND THEN HE THINKS OF THE THREE COINS IN HIS POCKET WHICH WILL PURCHASE SO MUCH CANDY IN THE STORE DOWN THE STREET NEXT TO THE TOY SHOP WHERE ARE BASEBALLS MARBLES AND SO ON AND THEN HE COMES BACK WITH A JERK TO FOUR ONES ARE FOUR SO WITH US ALSO WE ARE SEEKING THE MEANING OF OUR TASK BUT THE MIND TAKES ADVANTAGE OF A MOMENT OF SLACKENED ATTENTION AND FLITS OFF FROM ONE FRIVOLOUS DETAIL TO ANOTHER TILL WE SUDDENLY COME BACK TO CONSCIOUSNESS AFTER TRAVERSING LEAGUES OF SPACE
