16. What are the factors to be kept in view in dhyana ?

 

It is important for one who is established in his Self (atma nista) to

see that he does not swerve in the least from this absorption. By

swerving from his true nature he may see before him bright

effulgences, etc., or hear unusual sounds or regard as real the

visions of gods appearing within or outside himself. He should not be

deceived by these and forget himself.

 

NOTE: (i) If the moments that are wasted in thinking of the objects

which are not the Self, are spent on enquiry into the Self,

self-realization will be attained in a very short time.
