Lecture by Swami Tattwamayananda. The distinction between Dharana, attempting to fix the mind on one thought, and Dhyana, the continuous uninterrupted fixing of the mind on one point is made. Dharana is also called Manana, continuous contemplation around a single idea or sutra in the context of Vedanta practice. The levels of Mantra practice are reviewed in this context. At the highest level of concentration, subject, object, and the process of knowing merge. A review of Sankhya philosophy’s 23 cosmic evolutes is given. The important philosophical distinction between Parinama, real transformation, and Vivarta, transfiguration is introduced. Verses: III.1, III.2
