Dhyan and Dharana - Focus and Belief

Two integral aspects about Patanjali's Yogasutra is Dhyan and Dharana.
I came to know about this when I started my meditation through RSVK.
At that time it seemed that this is something special and I need to
inculcate this in my life as these were not present.

When I was reading "An autobiography of a yogi" - this was given a
special importance - how to do your dhyan.

All of a sudden a new aspect has opened up for me regarding these two - there
is nothing new to these two aspects - we're already designed with these -it's
only that we're not 'aware' of. The whole life in face we run with these.
I was watching my son of 6 years - his whole day - from the time he wakes up
till he's asleep - his world is filled with BEN10 and aliens.There is absolutely
nothing else.He can speak, he can eat, he can sleep with BEN10/aliens.
Now if I see, the focus that he's having right now in his life is BEN10/aliens.
And the whole 'Dharana' about his life is guided with the world of aliens.

The point I wanted to make, everuone of us is glued with these two - whether we
can see or not - whether we agree or not.

Look into your life right now - what are you glued to -is it money, is it career,
is it sex, is it problem with your spouse, is it with some complaints about someone,
is it what'll happen tomorrow.....you'll see that you're glued - whether you like it
or not - you're stuck.

Check with yourself - is this what you really wanted when you're a kid - really to
become worried, really to become tensed, really to become nasty.HUH.What a way to live.
Still can you see what way you're not will to give up your "Dhayn and Dharana".

WAKE UP !!! SID did it - you can also do.Provided you're willing to allow yourself to do so.WAKE UP!!!

There is fantastic clip available from Youtube - it's a part of the movie "MATRIX". The point is -are you willing to wake up - the infinite possibilities of life is waiting for you !!!
