So it’s important to question our perception of concentration, and our attitude towards getting it. The ‘getting it’ approach doesn’t work in terms of appreciation of the present – but the present is all that we can directly be aware of. We’re directly aware of the present moment through feeling it and being affected by it – and that’s not a matter for thought or a goal, it’s a matter of heart in the present. But if we’re led by a work-ethic that demands achievement, we lose present-moment appreciation and enjoyment; we leave out the heart. And there’s the mistake: because there can’t be any settling and unification without feeling it in the heart. Samadhi is Pure Enjoyment
