what is the meaning of Dhyanam

                           Meaning of  Dhyana

     

      Dhyanam means 'your attention to'. Now, your mind's attention is directed too much towards the world, and this leads to fear and cravings. Cravings are the cause of all unhappiness for humanity. If this attention can get concentrated, then the mind goes inwards and touches the Self.  This leads to a happier life. Getting control of the mind is like controlling a car. If you can control the car, you can drive it if you wish, and when you don't want to drive, you don't drive. In the same way, if the mind is controlled, when you want to use it, you can use it; when you don't want to use it, you can keep it quiet.
