According to Osho, single-pointedness is concentration—narrowing the mind to one line, valuable for tasks like archery or science (work), but it is not meditation or worship. Being total means presence without mind—pure awareness where all dimensions are available. Spacing out is the opposite of both—being absent while acting, which is unhealthy and risky. Use focus for work; drop mind for worship.
Use a sharp focus for doing jobs, but for prayer/meditation just be fully here; don’t drift off while doing anything.
