Yogic meditation is a means of training the being to tune itself to the workings of the Divine Being. The central principle of such meditation is to concentrate one's mental faculties upon the object of quest. But it requires long hours of practice for the mind to be able to attain such sustainable levels of concentration and absorption. This discipline, above everything else, is the essence of yoga meditation.

The success of yogic meditation depends largely on the sincerity and strength of the yogi behind it. It is not the duration but the intensity of the aspiring consciousness, which is more important and ultimately effective. Fatigue is to be avoided at all costs, since it weakens the power of concentration and jades the mind.



Yoga meditation puts the being of the meditating yogi in a condition of increased and conscious receptivity to the workings of yoga shakti or the power of yoga. With a deepening of this state of mind there is often a total withdrawal from the external environment.

With the gradual sense of awakening peace and joy, the yogi becomes aware of the powers of the Higher Consciousness in his inner self. In yoga meditation, this condition, experienced uninterruptedly in the hours of samadhi (the ultimate stage of such a meditative technique), is stabilized and organized into a state of liberation in the inner being to the exclusion of the rest of existence. The yogi's ordinary consciousness is completely stilled and immobilized in this state of samadhi.
