Attention - self-awareness of our inner realm
When we speak about ‘attention’, we must know that this word can be interpreted in several ways. Usually, of course, it means that sustained focus we all need in order to do our work properly, to understand what has been said to us, or to read a book, and so on. However, there is another form of attention known as self-awareness or introspection. This entails a constant awareness of all our inner goings-on, of all passing currents, desires and thoughts, of all the influences and conflicts we experience. It is this attention that is not sufficiently developed. The Scriptures say, ‘Be vigilant, because the devil, like a roaring lion, is ready to devour you.’ Rest assured that you will not see a lion or the devil on the physical plane; the threat lies in the inner realm. It is there that desires, plans, passions and cravings seek to swallow you up, and you must be very attentive or you will be devoured.*
