"All profound distraction opens certain doors. You have to allow yourself to be distracted when you are unable to concentrate."
Simplified meaning
Sometimes, when you're really distracted and can't focus, it can actually lead you to new and unexpected opportunities. For example, imagine a student who is trying to study for a big test but just can't seem to concentrate. They might start doodling or daydreaming, and suddenly they come up with a great idea for an art project or a fun story to write. This distraction has opened a new door for them. Instead of fighting the distraction and getting frustrated, they use it in a positive way. In the same way, if you're working on a problem and can't find a solution, allowing your mind to wander might help you see things from a different angle. By not forcing yourself to concentrate too hard, you might discover new passions or solutions you wouldn't have thought of before.
