Swami Sivananda concentration and meditation

Concentration and meditation are the royal roads to perfection.Concentration leads to meditation. Fix the mind on onegbject either within the body or without. Keep it there steadilyfor some time. This is concentration. You will have to practisethis daily. Purifo the mind first through the practice of right conductand then take to the practice of concentration. Concentrationwithout purity of mind is of no avail. There are someoccultists who have concentration. But they have no goodcharacter. That is the reason why they do not make anyprogress in the spiritual line.
