Dhyana is not mere sitting erect and being silent nor is it the absence of any movement. It is the merging of all your thoughts and feelings to God. Without the mind becoming dissolved in God, dhyana cannot succeed. The Gîtâ declares genuine dhyana as: [BG 9:22]
ananyâs cintayanto mâm
ye janâh paryupâsate
tesâm nityâbhiyuktânâm
yoga-ksemam vahâmy aham
[But of those persons who concentrate on nothing else but Me and who are fixed in devotion in proper worship, I protect the union and to them I carry what they need]. Krishna has assured such persons that He would carry their burden and be by their side, guiding and guarding them. Persons adept in this dhyana are very rare; most people go through the external exercises only. So they are unable to win grace.
