Pt. Vijay Shankar Mehta - Hamare Hanuman

eath is controlled, “man” will not get thoughts. As
soon as we stop feeding it, it will become inactive, and
the state of mind, when it is inactive give rise to peace.
Soul
The preparation to reach soul is the name of killing
Rawan. There are eight ways of Yoga,
Yam – Abstention from evil doing.
Niyam – Observances,
Aasan - Posture
Pranayam – Control of ‘Pran’
Pratyahar – Withdrawal of mind from sense objects
Dharna – Concentration
Dhyan - Meditation
Samadhi – Absorption in the soul.
By, Yam, Niyam and Aasan, we learnt and
maintained the discipline of body. Dhyan and Samadhi
are a matter of soul. Pranayam, Pratyahar and dharna,
balance the mind. There fore we have to understand this
series and reach Samadhi. Those who directly want to
reach Samadhi they fail to achieve.
People complaint that during meditation they fall
asleep or all the thoughts came at that time only. That’s
why before reaching dhyan, we must go through the
ways of Ashtang yoga serially
