Another supportive component of samadhi that is often overlooked is the understanding and realization of the need for a stable mind. We are not creating stability because it is written in a text or because someone we admire told us it was important; we are doing this because we feel the need.

Our focused energy is governed by our intent and purpose, and we stabilize the mind in proportion to our need to do so.
