Abstract

Description

This meditation theory class with Baba Hari Dass defines dhyāna as focusing the mind, aiming to still thoughts and eventually separate mind from God. True meditation transcends daydreaming and relaxation. Techniques involve focusing on positive objects or stories to train the mind. Samādhi is described as a state beyond one-pointedness, where the meditator and object merge, requiring faith and devotion. Loss of self-consciousness alone isn't necessarily samādhi; the aim matters.
