Query:
Can you help me reach the state of 'Dhayana' while following the proper meditation
technique/Meditation Techniques ?
Vijay
Kumar:
Your prime
concern as on date is the right meditation
technique which needs to be followed.
Meditation
technique which shall teach you reach the level of Dhayana is a process... a path
and not the end of the journey. Meditation techniques can be many but the right
meditation technique shall lead one towards more tranquility and peace of mind.
Dhayana:
what exactly does it mean? It simply implies that one is able to concentrate his
thoughts by using proper meditation technique and reaching the stage of Dhayana...
the stage when one comes face-to-face with God... the stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi.
This experience is something which simply cannot be defined in words.
In the Dhayana state of
meditation technique one is so engrossed in communicating with God Almighty that
we forget about everything mundane. What now matters is progressing ourselves
following the proper meditation technique towards the end goal.
The
end goal of all meditation techniques is reaching the stage of tranquility...
a stage when everything becomes standstill. This is a stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi
when one can have a dialogue with God on one-to-one basis.
To
follow the right meditation technique amongst the various meditation techniques
being followed all over... we need to initially learn the meaning of word meditation.
meditation termed in Hindi as Yoga simply means trying to create a synthesis between
our real self (our atman, the soul within) and God, the Almighty.
Any meditation technique
or meditation techniques followed by one which propels us towards reaching the
stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi is the right technique. The right meditation technique
does not involve sitting in their closed dark room and concentrating our thoughts
on a dimly lit bulb.
The
right meditation technique is reciting various mantras which shall help us in
eradicating the impurity of our thoughts. As we rise higher on the meditational
plane we shall find that all the clutter which used to disturb us very often in
our day-to-day life is now missing.
It
is the absence of this clutter from our thought process which makes for the right
meditation technique.
There
are few fundamentals that are required to be followed to follow the proper meditation
technique.
The first
of this is maintaining a healthy body. Unless we maintain a healthy body... no
matter what meditation technique we follow... the end results would not suffice.
A healthy body results from invoking positive thoughts all the time.
Enabling
us to follow the right meditation technique positive thinking has to become an
integral part of our day-to-day life. Positive thinking as practiced and advocated
by the famous Napoleon
hill in his books The
Master-Key to Riches and The
Law of Success In Sixteen Lessons are my favorites.
If we are to follow the proper meditation techniques then we need to go through
all the three books The
Master-Key to Riches and The
Law of Success In Sixteen Lessons by Think
and Grow Rich in detail. These books simply teach us that before embarking
on any journey we must have a goal... the final goal in sight!
Once
we have fixed a goal in our life then following a right meditation technique would
become easier. Having fixed a goal we are now to concentrate ourselves on practicing
the right meditation technique... the practice of Neti as practiced and advocated
by Maharishi Ramana... the famous Seer who realized God in his lifetime.
Without
Neti no meditational technique would suffice. We cannot do without Neti and that
is a judgment without appeal. Neti as advocated by Maharishi Ramana simply means
following the path of not this, not this!
Neti (the finest form of meditation technique nee guided
meditation) involves negating everything in the Cosmos which we think
and consider not as God. And what ultimately remains in the end is nothing but
God, the Almighty.
While
proceeding on the path of pure Spirituality
towards God we find certain bonuses being made available to us in form of cosmic
powers that be.
Used
for the mankind... these Tantric powers carry a lot of weight age. The benefits
of meditation are never limited... the first and the foremost being that our mind
without clutter is something of a prized possession of every successful CEO and
owners of every successful enterprise.
We may never have the desire to reach the top rung of the society... yet, reaching
the stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi is a boon for all. Even those who have materialistic
desires left within them... these persons also can work to the best for the benefit
of the mankind at large. Not to mention they shall gather a heavenly booty in
return from God Almighty.
Everything in the
cosmic system is balanced every moment of life. If we expect something from God...
we have to give back something to the society in return. Alternatively while proceeding
on the path of pure spirituality practicing right meditation technique if we are
showered with certain Tantric powers then we are supposed to give back equivalent
in return to the society.
The
process of Neti can be best practiced and followed following correctly the path
of Shavasana pose in yogic exercises (Shavasana-
most powerful meditation
technique). Both Neti and the Shavasana pose in yoga complement each
other. One cannot do without! It is lying in the Shavasana pose that one can practice
Neti to its extreme best.
Regarding meditation techniques... I would again like to clear the definition
of meditation. Yoga in Hindi simply means the process of synthesizing something
with the other. In Hindi two yog
two equals four. The process of our Atman
the soul within trying to synthesize with the super atman (God, the Almighty)
is the right meditation technique that needs to be followed by a true seeker of
spirituality.
Once
the meaning and the essence of the word meditation and yoga is clear to us...
following the proper meditation techniques and reaching the end goal of life is
not afar.
In a nutshell
the proper meditation technique comprises of setting a goal of journey of life,
understanding the correct meaning of meditation and yoga and practicing the Shavasana
pose in yoga and also Neti (not this, not this) as advocated and practiced by
Maharishi
Ramana. Practicing so one finally reaches the portals of heaven...
the gateway to the stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi!
Nirvikalpa Samadhi is the culmination of all that we call as meditation and yoga.
There is nothing beyond the stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi that is required to be
achieved by a true practitioner of meditation
and yoga.
It
is but the end of cosmic journey... stage of enlightenment and finally salvation
moksha in Hinduism that is required to be achieved... the final culmination point
of cosmic journey and life itself. our atman the soul within liberates and becomes
free from the cycle of life and death forever.
May
God bless you!

I read your article in godrealized.com and I am deeply impressed with it. I have
been a concious supporter of the works and achievements of Swami Vivekananda and
RK mission. Since last two to three years a frequent urge for god has emerged
in me for god. I tried to practice meditation and dhyan so many time but could
not achieve it. Can you help me somehow in this regards.
I
loose my mind so many times and the next day I start making new plans for meditation.
But there is a kind of fear in me which is making me reluctant to achieve it.
Well reaching nirvikalp samadhi is not my aim, but some how atleast I should reach
the state of 'Dhayana'. Please help me out of this situation.
