What is in Meditation
Meditation is the uninterrupted flow of concentration. It consists of 3 main components:
- 1. Dhyata (doer, the practitioner)
- 2. Dhyeya (object)
- 3. Dhyana (the process, that is meditation itself)
In the initial stage of meditation, all three components are present but as you progress through your practice, you will become one with the object, and eventually, the object gets dissolved and only the proc less is left.
This is easier said than done, as you all know that human beings have a lot of unnecessary accumulations from the materialistic desires that continuously give you thoughts, gain, and loss. So first, you must learn how to sit still just being in the moment. You must forget about the past and should not worry about the future.
