Meditation
is
called
Dhyana
in
Sanskrit
and
is
the
seventh
step
in
the
Yogic
ladder.
During
meditation
the
mind
is
free
from
worldly
thoughts.
Meditation
follows
concentration.
Concentration
merges
into
meditation.
Concentration
is
holding
the
mind
onto
some
particular
object.
Meditation
is
an
unbroken
flow
of
knowledge
and
a
regular
flow
of
thought
with
regard
to
the
object
of
concentration.
Meditation
opens
the
door
of
the
mind
to
intuitive
knowledge
and
many
powers.
Meditation
is
of
two
kinds,
viz
–
Saguna
meditation
(with
gunas
or
qualities)
and
Nirguna
meditation
(without
gunas
or
qualities).
Saguna
meditation
is
with
form
and
attributes
while
Nirguna
meditation
deals
with
the
Reality
of
Self.
Meditation
is
the
most
powerful
mental
and
nervine
tonic.
The
holy
vibrations
penetrate
all
the
cellsof
the
body
and
cure
the
various
diseases
in
the
human
body.
The
powerful
soothing
waves
that
arise
during
meditation
exercise
a
benign
influence
on
the
mind,
nerves,
organs
and
cells
of
the
body.
The
divine
energy
flows
freely
like
the
flow
of
oil
from
one
vessel
to
another.
Regular
meditation
opens
up
the
avenues
of
intuitional
knowledge,
makes
the
mind
calm
and
steady
and
provides
peace
and
spiritual
strength.
Such
is
the
beneficial
effect
of
meditation.
