When we reflect (think deeply) properly, we start to be economical with our thought energy. When milk is churned, it is gradually reduced in volume until it becomes butter. When we have many ideas, or thoughts, about a particular thing and we reflect in the right way, those ideas start to become cleaner and clearer, that is, more essenceful (focused).
Bringing our thoughts to the essence is called concentration. Such concentration is natural and not forced. We cannot concentrate naturally unless we have been through the reflection process.
When the mind gets to that point of concentration where mental energy is conserved (saved), then we are empowered (strengthened). An inner spring of energy is opened, which flows through us and takes us up to another level of consciousness.
