UIt is very easy to read in a silent, isolated place.
But when you can read with 100% concentration while sitting at a crowded place, you have true concentration.
I can cite THREE examples from my personal knowledge:-
1) There was a lawyer who lived in a rented one room flat. His wife and children used to watch TV.
At that very same time, in one corner of that room, the lawyer used to read his cases. His concentration was such that he could read even when TV was going on.
He wrote also books and later he became Judge of High Court, then Chief Justice, then acting Governor of a State, then a Supreme Court Judge and he is now retired.
2) Another case is of a lawyer who is presently practising in Supreme Court. His office is open.
Once there was a marriage in house of his next door neighbour. He decided to go when Procession from Groom Side comes.
Then he started reading his case.
When his reading was over, he inquired and found that groom side procession had already came, it passed by his office, with all band and noise and the marriage was also over in neighbour's house.
He never noticed or heard these noises, when he was absorbed in reading his case.
This is a true case as told by advocate G.S.Bhatt
3) I knew about one another advocate in a small town of Veraval in Gujarat. His office was also like a shop with doors on road. No glass partitions.
His office was next to a cinema hall. Several times in a day, noisy audience of cinema used to pass by his office.
He used to continue to read his cases without being disturbed by noises on road.
As a child, I used to pass by his office and used to see him absorbed in reading his cases.
This was about 45 years ago.
The Point is : It is possible to concentrate notwithstanding one's circumstances.
