Our way of concentration is not the usual concentration. Concentration usually means to be involved in something. But at the same time, we should have freedom. So, this kind of concentration is deeper and more natural. If you are trying to concentrate on something, your effort is directed only one way, and it is difficult to change it. If your concentration is quite natural, you can change any time, and you will be ready to change your direction of effort. — Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 67-12-02 - as found on shunryusuzuki.com edited by PF.
