Chapter-13. ( Kshetra-kshetrajna-vibhaga-yogam )

Introduction-4.


"We  can  say  that  the  action  of  vastra-anavaranam  is  Dyanam /Meditation."

The  details  of  'Dyana-yogam'  that  is  various  stages  in : such  as  body-mind-bhuddhi,  and  their  co-ordination,  the  group's  state  in  Dyanam,  etc.,  these  details  were  explained  in  fifth  and  sixth  chapters.

Sitting  in  the  prescribed  'Asanam'  ( Pose ),  thereafter  concentrating  the  cittam  ( mind ),  

What  will  you  do  with  concentrating  mind?

Is  it  possible  to  detach  the  Self  ( Atma )  from  the  bhavam  of  body  (  body 'I' ),  thereafter,  concentrate  on  Supreme  Reality  ( God )?

 In  this  chapter-13. these  questions  are  answered,  in  great  detail.

To be continued  ....
