Concentration is simply a tactic for herding the
various defilements into one focal point so that we can rectify or destroy them
more easily. To put it simply, concentration is strength for discernment. When
the mind gathers in the levels of concentration, it is content to work from
various angles in the area of mindfulness and discernment. When it's working,
the results of its work appear. The defilements fall away one after another.
The heart becomes engrossed in the results of its work and investigates even
more, never having its fill, like spring water flowing continually throughout
the rainy season.
(Ajahn Maha Boowa)
