Yoga Sutras 3.12 meaning
tatah punah shant-oditau tulyapratyayau chittasy-aikagrataparinamah
ततः पुनः शान्तोदितौ तुल्यप्रत्ययौ चित्तस्यैकाग्रतापरिणामः॥
Then, when the thought that has just passed and the thought now arising are the same, the mind has reached one-pointedness.
What it means
Focus is when each moment's thought continues the last, without jumping elsewhere. Notice how often your mind switches topics; gently linking one moment to the next is how real concentration grows.हिंदी में अर्थ
तब जब बीतता हुआ और उठता हुआ विचार एक जैसा हो, वह चित्त का एकाग्रता-परिणाम है।
एकाग्रता तब है जब हर पल का विचार पिछले को ही आगे बढ़ाए, इधर-उधर न कूदे। मन कितनी बार विषय बदलता है, देखें और धीरे से उसे जोड़ते रहें।
Spoken by Patanjali.
