A person who tries to unite with the Higher is called a Yogi. Such a Yogi must always strive to keep his mind steady, for which meditation is prescribed. Curbing the activities of the mind, he has to sit alone and turn himself inward warding off all the thoughts of the outside world.

The seeker who sits to meditate has to be ekagra and with that single pointed mind focus on the supreme truth. One has to have steady control unlike today’s media propagating on meditating for relaxing with friends and near and dear ones. One has to focus with full attention and devotion where you have to rise above the present attachments.
