We will find that now a days Yoga or meditation is very famous
through out the world. Today we are more disturbed due to our much attachment
to the worldly affairs like various types of attraction, fond, enjoyments,
like and dislike, choice, favor, money, work, family and especially egoism
for own knowledge to establish Self superiority. It is explained in spiritual
Sadhana that a man can come up from all five
obstacles [passion, anger, greed, feelings want] very easily by drawing
divine power from the Ultimate but fails to cross the 11circles of Egoism.
Many Incarnation came and they have drawn the natural power and they have
given so many good things in the form of a religion. It means that they have drawn the power but instead of giving the
same power to human being, they have given the result of the power to the
mankind. In short, they have also stuck at one point of ego and failed to
give the proper uplift of man in real sense for Eternity. Exceptional is Ramkrishna Paramashansa who
transferred the divine power to Swami Vivekananda. We will observe,
all religions are in the form of instructions only but there is no doubt,
they too have explained very nicely about the love for God. Actually by astanga yoga [connection
with God] is of eight steps. 1] Yam 2] Niyam 3] Asahan 4] Pranayam 5] Pratyahar 6]Drarana 7] Dhyana 8] Smadhi [about all
these eight steps Rishi Patanjali
has written more elaborately which we will have in next our article] We have come to a stage of when a jivatma
becomes Dhyatwa, Dheya, Dhyana and Gnyatwa, Gneya and Gynana means knowing
and knowledge all comes in one line as the soul [jvatma] getting linked with the Ultimate. Then the condition of
the seeker [soul] comes to a state of
who will think? and what will think? Saint Sankaracharya narrated this stage
as Achitam Param Dhyanam means without thought the perfect Meditation or Dhyana rather a feeling of God. The Jivatma
remains in a unionized condition with Brahma. It is a state of Nirguna Brahma or Niralamba. No
thought, No matter, only a feeling of Eternity remains over there even though
the physical body is working for the worldly affairs. Maharshi
Arvind explained this state as Ceased from Mental
Action In Brahma Vindu Upanishad explained
about this condition as Naivya Chintam, Na Varha Chintam, Chintam Naivacha, Pakshapata Vinir Muktam, Brahmam Sampatdate Tatha Means no thought, no outer thought disturbance even aloof from
physical body and a state of unionized or merging condition with Brahma. Some one explained that it is a condition when a magnifying glass
is taken to a point to burn the grass accumulated at a place. In the same
way, the disturbed mind comes to the stage of Nirodh in a easy way by
the divine power and burns the disturbance of attachment. Then jivatma remains in peace rather we may say it is a
condition of Bliss. At the above state of Nirodh slowly the
Self-confidence comes means realization of Swa- Swarup, Atma Swarup, Atma Satya or the Truth of
Self. Actually it is the first two steps of Sadhan Chatusthya that is Vivek and Vairagnya [To be continued to 3rd
