Taking in all sorts of objects, and concentrating upon one object, these two powers being destroyed and manifested respectively, the Chitta gets the modification called Samadhi.
In plain words: When the mind stops jumping between many things and settles on one thing, it moves toward Samadhi, deep absorption.
The mind takes up various objects, runs into all sorts of things. That is the lower state. There is a higher state of the mind, when it takes up one object and excludes all others, of which Samadhi is the result.
Namaste.
A calm guide to life, the mind and the old teachings.
