Meditation Methods

Dhyana - this single word has been defined in different ways. Somebody said, "You understand yourself, that is Dhyana." Somebody else said, "You get rid of your thoughts; the status that is attained after that is just like Dhyana." Definitions kept on emerging, but when Goddess Parvati asked Lord Shiva about Dhyana, he did not say much and he did not offer any definition, as defining the same would have given an opposite effect.
