Yoga

Dhyana

Practically everybody has actually experienced the reality that when one begins focusing his mind on any instant things or a concept, the mind begins roaming. He was recommended by Krishna that though mind control is hard, it can be made stable and quiet by routine practice of vairagya and abhyasa. Pantanjali, in Yoga Sutra has actually stressed these 2 qualities to attain mind control.

Abhyasa is one of the practices for cleansing the mind. At the start of dhyana, the mind is steadier and just a single idea about an item emerges in the mind. Here, the mind ends up being extremely steady like the flame of a light in a calm environment and its contact with the things of experience ends up being total and extreme.

In the very first dhyana, the stillness of mind is associated with an item of experience which can be experienced through the sense organs. It suggests total absorption of mind into itself. Here, the mind is not associated with any external things.
