" Meditation is a very general word. It is not a word that explains

all the three steps one has to take for meditating. But in Sanskrit

language they have very clearly said, how you have to move in your

meditation.

 

First is called as Dhyana, and second is called as Dhaarna; and the

third is called Samadhi. Luckily Sahaja Yoga is such a thing that you

get everything in a bundle. You avoided everything else and you got

the Samadhi part. That's the beauty of it. The first part of

meditation is the Dhyana. First when you have seeking, you put your

attention towards the object of your worship. That is called as

Dhyana. And the Dhaarana is the one in which you put all your effort.

Concentrate all your effort.

 

But this is all drama for people who are not realised. For them it's

just a sort of an acting that they do.

 

But for a realised soul it is a reality. So the first, the Dhyana,

you have to do. Some do it of the Form, another of the Formless. But

you are so fortunate that the Formless has become a Form for you. No

problem, you don't have to go from Form to Formless, from Formless to

form; it's all there, in a bundle. So you concentrate, or think of

some Deity, or some point for Nirakar, for the Formless, or of

Nirakar itself. It's all a mental projection as long as you are not a

realised soul.

 

But, once you are realised, you have just to think of Dhyana, whom

you are going to concentrate, or you can say meditate on. But once

you start meditating on a person your attention starts moving. That

is also possible after realisation, though it is in a bundle; but

some people have it-`part of it,' 'part of it', like that.

 

So when you meditate, still your attention can get disturbed every

moment. It can happen, depending on the intensity of your

concentration. So, there are some Sahaja Yogis, I've seen, they are

cooking, and there's another one is meditating. The meditating one

will say: " Oh, I can smell it is burning " .

 

So there is no Dhaarna. Dhyana is there but not Dhaarna. The second

part of it is very important, that you have to put your attention

continuously on to your deity. Then you develop a state which is

called as Dhaarna in which your attention becomes one, with the

Deity. But when these mature, the third stage, of Samadhi, comes in.

 

Now for people who think that without realization they can reach

Samadhi, I think they are absolutely mistaken. But after realization

also, when the Dhaarna is established you have to get to the position

where you become Samadhi. Now, what is that state? When that state

comes into your mind, then whatever you do, the Deity that you

worship, you see that Deity in your work; whatever you see, you see

the Deity giving you the show; you can put it like that.

 

Whatever you hear, you find the Deity telling you the truth, whatever

you read, you find there what the Deity would tell you. So, in that

state, whatever you do with your eyes, nose, and all these organs,

all that, becomes a kind of manifestation of the Deity whom you

worship, automatically.

 

You don't have to think " Now I must concentrate, alright, I will not

have these thoughts, I have to now think about this. " It becomes,

automatically there; you read a book, in that book immediately you

find what is good for Sahaja Yoga. If there is a book, which is anti-

God, you discard it, the state that is awakened within you is a new

state of mind, in Sanskrit language it has a very beautiful name,

Ritambhara Pragnya, which is a very difficult name. "
