ध्यान म्हणजे नक्की काय? – प्राचीन योगशास्त्रानुसार ध्यानाचे टप्पे समजून घ्या

ध्यान म्हणजे फक्त डोळे मिटवून बसणं नव्हे, तर ते एक अंतर्मुख होण्याचं, आत्माशी जोडण्याचं, आणि शांतीचा अनुभव घेण्याचं माध्यम आहे. पण ध्यानाला सुरुवात करताच अनेक विचार मनात धावू लागतात. असं का घडतं?

 याचं उत्तर समजून घेण्यासाठी प्राचीन योगशास्त्रात सांगितलेल्या ध्यानाच्या टप्प्यांवर आधारित मार्गदर्शन आपण या व्हिडीओमध्ये घेणार आहोत.

धारणा म्हणजे नेमकं काय?

ध्यानापूर्वी ‘धारणा’ साधणं फार महत्त्वाचं आहे. धारणा म्हणजे – आपण काय साध्य करू इच्छितो, याचं ठोस भान ठेवणं आणि त्या गोष्टीवर चित्त केंद्रित करणं.

जेव्हा मन ठराविक एका दिशेला वळतं, तेव्हाच पुढील टप्पा – ध्यान – शक्य होतं.

डोळे मिटल्यावर विचार का येतात?

ध्यान सुरू केल्यावर अनेकांना जाणवतं – मनात विचारांची गर्दी होते. हे होतं कारण:

मनाची व मनोवृत्तीची पूर्वतयारी होत नाही

श्वसनावर नियंत्रण नसतं

चित्त इंद्रियांकडून आत वळलेलं नसतं

या सर्व अडचणी दूर करण्यासाठी योग्य ‘धारणा’ आणि सातत्यपूर्ण सराव आवश्यक आहे.

योगशास्त्रानुसार ध्यानाचे सात टप्पे

शुद्धी – शरीर व मनाची शुद्धी

दृढता – आसन व जीवनशैलीतील स्थैर्य

स्थैर्य – मन आणि शरीरात शांतता

धैर्य – चिकाटी व सहनशक्ती

लाघव – सौम्यता, हलकेपणा

प्रत्याहार – इंद्रियांचे अंतर्मुख होणे

ध्यान – चित्ताचे एकाग्रपण आणि समाधीकडे वाटचाल

हे सात टप्पे ध्यानाची गहन साधना स्पष्ट करतात.

या व्हिडीओमध्ये तुम्हाला मिळणार आहे:

✔ ध्यानाची योग्य सुरुवात कशी करावी ✔ विचारांवर नियंत्रण मिळवण्याचे उपाय ✔ धारणा, प्रत्याहार आणि समाधी यामधील नातं ✔ योगशास्त्रीय मार्गदर्शनानुसार ब्रह्मज्ञानाचा प्रवास

व्हिडीओ बघा, मन:शांती अनुभवा आणि अध्यात्मिक वाटचालीस सुरुवात करा.

हा व्हिडीओ इतरांनाही जरूर शेअर करा.

ध्यान म्हणजे नक्की काय?

निरामय जीवनासाठी ध्यानाचा मार्ग स्वीकारा! मित्रम��डळींसोबत शेअर करा – कारण ध्यान ही प्रत्येकाच्या जीवनासाठी उपयुक्त अशी जीवनकला आहे.

निरामय जीवनासाठी – आजपासूनच ध्यानाची वाटचाल सुरू करा!

Unknown Facts of Shiv Ji

[spiritualsoul1969]

"The Art of Inner Listening: Wisdom from Matsyendranath"

Imagine being trapped inside the belly of a fish, not for hours, but for days—enclosed, powerless, and engulfed by darkness. For most, this would spell the end. But for Swami Matsyendranath, this was the beginning.

In the silent chambers of that oceanic womb, Matsyendranath discovered something the world outside had never taught him: the art of inner listening. When external noise fades, and your thoughts exhaust themselves, what remains is a deeper, more profound sound — the voice of your own essence.

Matsyendranath’s story is not one of escape but of surrender. The world often praises action, noise, and achievement, but he taught us that true wisdom blooms in stillness. Trapped in the dark, his ears tuned not to the splash of water, but to the unspoken dialogues between Self and Source.

The ocean that surrounded him was more than water; it symbolized the infinite universe of thoughts, feelings, and doubts each one of us swims through daily. And like the waves, life’s challenges rise and fall. But the real mastery is not in riding them, but in listening to their rhythm — not reacting to life, but communing with it.

Matsyendranath emerged from that fish not as a survivor, but as a knower. He didn’t learn from books, gurus, or scriptures — his teacher was the deep, internal silence. In today’s world, we are flooded with advice, self-help content, podcasts, and noise masquerading as wisdom. Matsyendranath’s path reminds us that the most accurate answers are not external — they emerge when we listen within.

When the world seduces you into believing that action is the only way, Matsyendranath teaches: the truest transformations begin with stillness, and the strongest actions are born from inner knowing.

🧰 Practical Toolkit for Inner Listening (Inspired by Matsyendranath):

Silent Morning Ritual (10 Minutes Daily): Before you scroll, speak, or write, sit in complete silence. No goals, no mantras, no music. Just listen. Let your mind empty naturally.

Question Without Expectation: During this silence, ask a question like: "What do I need to understand today?" Then — don’t seek an answer. Allow space for the answer to arrive on its own, even days later.

Midday Micro Pauses: Set three silent alarms. Each time it rings, pause for one minute, close your eyes, and notice the sound behind the sounds — the hum of existence.

Evening Reflection: Journal one line: "Today, I heard my inner voice when I..." This habit sharpens your perception of authentic self-dialogue.

The ‘Fish Tank’ Method: Spend 5 minutes each day imagining yourself inside a serene, protective fish tank — cut off from the world’s chatter, and fully immersed in your inner ocean. Observe what surfaces.

Swami Matsyendranath didn’t invent listening. He refined it into an art. And this art, once mastered, doesn’t just change how you hear the world — it transforms how you become the world.

If you seek wisdom, don’t chase it. Sit still, and listen. Like the ocean, the truth will arrive in waves.

Why Matsyendranath Chose the Path Less Travelled

In a world where people chase security, acceptance, and validation, there are those rare souls who walk a different path—one carved by their own inner calling. Swami Matsyendranath, the revered founder of the Nath tradition, was one such mystic. But why did he abandon the conventional road and choose the path less travelled? The answer lies in his unwavering pursuit of truth beyond the ordinary.

The Story of a Fisherman Who Became a Mystic

Matsyendranath’s story begins in the unlikeliest of places. Born into a fisherman’s family, his destiny seemed bound to the tides of the ocean. However, fate had other plans. According to legend, he was swallowed by a great fish and found himself in the depths of the ocean—where he unwittingly overheard Lord Shiva imparting the secret wisdom of yoga to Goddess Parvati. The knowledge sank deep into his being, changing him forever.

When he emerged from the belly of the fish, he was no longer the same man. He had transcended the boundaries of identity, choosing to step away from the ordinary world to follow the whispers of divine wisdom. This wasn’t a mere rejection of societal norms; it was an awakening to a higher purpose.

Walking the Unbeaten Path—The Price of Awakening

The spiritual path is not for the faint-hearted. It requires one to break free from conditioned thought, release attachments, and embrace the unknown. Matsyendranath walked away from a predictable existence because he understood a deep truth:

The familiar is a trap; true transformation lies in the unknown.

He wandered through forests, lived among ascetics, and sought out hidden wisdom. He was neither confined by caste nor limited by societal expectations. He chose solitude over comfort, knowledge over ignorance, and transformation over stagnation.

The path he followed was not glamorous. It did not offer security, wealth, or approval from society. Instead, it demanded surrender, discipline, and an unbreakable commitment to self-discovery. He realized that to truly awaken, one must be willing to walk alone.

What Can We Learn from Matsyendranath’s Choice?

Most of us spend our lives seeking external validation. We fear straying from the “normal” path because we worry about judgment, failure, or loneliness. But Matsyendranath’s life teaches us that the greatest wisdom is found in solitude and the truest growth comes from stepping into the unknown.

If you feel trapped in routine, suffocated by expectations, or hesitant to follow your own calling, his journey serves as a guiding light. Choosing a different path doesn’t mean abandoning responsibilities; it means aligning with your highest truth and breaking free from the chains of conformity.

A Practical Toolkit for the Modern Seeker

Inspired by Matsyendranath’s journey, here are actionable steps to help you integrate his wisdom into your daily life:

Silence the Noise – Spend at least 10 minutes daily in complete silence. No phone, no music, no distractions—just you and your inner voice.

Question Everything – Write down three beliefs you’ve inherited from society. Are they truly yours? Or are they conditioned responses?

Embrace Discomfort – Growth comes from stepping outside your comfort zone. Do one thing each day that challenges you.

Practice Detachment – Pick one material or emotional attachment and consciously distance yourself from it for a day.

Trust the Unknown – Take one small risk toward something that excites you but scares you. Let intuition lead instead of fear.

Deepen Your Wisdom – Read spiritual texts or teachings that make you uncomfortable. Growth comes from expanding beyond what you think you know.

Find Your True Voice – Stop seeking approval. Express your thoughts without worrying about what others think.

Final Thought: The Path Awaits You

Matsyendranath’s choice was not an easy one, but it was a necessary one. If you feel the pull towards something greater, something unexplainable—listen to it. The world may not understand your path, but the journey of self-discovery is never about the world. It is about you.

Are you ready to walk the path less travelled?

#EntiretyRepost @law_of_positivism • • • • • • I am exploring the different paths of Yoga in order to expand my knowledge in order to teach and share more. Karma Yoga is truly beautiful and is a great and easy way to bring more Yoga into our lives. I think all the paths are beautiful and can easily be combined and harmonized to create a bigger whole, a way of living that benefits You, those around you and in the world, Mother Earth and the Universe. During my yoga teacher training we practiced Karma Yoga through cleaning the ashram and spaces which we didn't necessarily use ourselves. This created a good vibe among us and we felt like part of something bigger through this community work. If more people in the world would practice Karma Yoga, we wouldn't have so much suffering either. To me, Law of Positivism, is my biggest way to practice Karma Yoga, because I just want to share what I know and have learned, in order to lift You and bring more awareness to the world. Just by helping others; our co-workers, family, friends or complete strangers, we are working positively with our Karma. This weekend, while driving between two cities, we picked up two tourists that didn't have a ride and where tired of walking. Just by doing these small things, we create a positive vibration in others which will affect the world at large.
