a: concentration ~
b: harnessing a flow of water
What:
"Concentration and intelligence are faculties that can be strengthened. As you develop concentration you can focus on an object for longer periods of time, but it takes training. For most of us, the mind is unstable, not focussed and wandering here and there. Training in concentration is like harnessing a flow of water to generate electricity. "
