Why is it hard to concentrate on Kusala? When I try to concentrate when studying, I end up with a wandering mind, but when I'm watching a video, I forget all the other things. Why is it hard to focus on things I really need? Is it some kind of practise? This was a lot easier to do for Lord Buddha, Ven. Arahant Moggollana.
Is focusing on Akusala than Kusala in samsara the problem? Do I have to build up practise of focusing to overcome this?
If we were completely separate from the world, completely independent - then the perfect focus on virtue would be easy.
But we are not separate, not isolated. We are connected with people and events around us. We are part of the web of influences.
These influence create context for our existence. Our desires and decisions come from this context. A lot of time we are carried away by these impulses, despite our best intentions.
The easiest thing we can do to overcome this is to choose which influences we expose ourselves to. Move to kusala city, make kusala friends, watch kusala movies etc. Surround yourself with kusala and it will be easier to focus on it.
