Centring of The Mind
By SWAMI SIVANANDA
Once a Sanskrit scholar approached Kabir and asked him, ‘O Kabir, what are you doing now?’ Kabir replied, ‘O Pundit, I am detaching the mind from worldly objects and attaching it to the lotus-feet of the Lord.’
This is concentration. Concentration, or Dharana, is centring the mind on one single thought. Vedantins try to fix the mind on the Atman. This is their Dharana. Hath Yogins and Raja Yogins concentrate their mind on the six chakras, energy centres. Bhaktas concentrate on their Ishta Devata, tutelary deity.
Concentration is a great necessity for all aspirants. During concentration, the various rays of the mind are collected and focusedon the object of concentration. There will be no tossing of the mind. When there is deep concentration, there is no consciousness of the body and surroundings.
