The road to meditation consists of three phases: Dharana (concentration), Dhyana (meditation), and samadhi (enlightenment). At the concentration for a long time to any particular cause, and the attention is fixed or meditation Dhyana is reached. Prolonged meditation leads to samadhi or enlightenment.
