There are many types of meditation in the Yoga perspective, but the best one is the meditation that focuses on the soul. This soul meditation is mostly not achieved without self-knowledge, and this self-knowledge is not attained without the true understanding of the soul. This true understanding is mostly achieved gradually by many beings, and the main path to it is the refuge, company, and respect for the knowledgeable person who is the embodiment of the soul. (See) Shrimad Rajchandra, Letter 342.
Disease and faults are destroyed "The meditator, the object of meditation, and samadhi are inseparable, leading to liberation." - Shri Devchandraji.
The seventh mental fault, "G", is destroyed here. Disease means the three faults of attachment, aversion, and delusion, which are the major forms of attachment and disease. Here, their absence is achieved. Or, any action performed without true understanding is a disease, because it destroys pure action. This means that the three faults cause suffering or damage to pure action, which is disease. (See Sanipat, p. 86) And the fruit of such diseased impure action is barren. (1)
Due to ignorance of the true nature of the soul, the being is confused and deluded - this is delusion. And due to this, the being develops attachment and aversion towards external objects because of the mistaken identification of the self with the body. Therefore, it moves towards external objects, engages in worldly activities. Thus, attachment and aversion are the greatest diseases for the being. Just as a person suffering from a severe illness loses consciousness, becomes delirious, and speaks nonsense, mistaking the self for the other and the other for the self, in short, behaves in a confused and contradictory manner, acting contrary to its original nature, and thus becomes a "sick person" by losing its true nature, similarly, when the three faults of attachment, aversion, and delusion affect a being, it loses awareness of its true nature, mistakes the external for the self and the self for the external, and speaks and acts in a confused and delirious manner, behaving contrary to its original nature. Thus, due to the three faults, the being falls away from its true nature, and its self-realization is disrupted, leading it to move towards external objects, engage in worldly activities, and find pleasure in them. This is the main disease for the being. (2) Or, any action performed without true understanding is also a disease, because it destroys pure action, that is, it causes suffering to pure action or disrupts it. Just as the actions of a sick person are diseased, so too are the actions of a person afflicted by these faults. The point is that any action that causes suffering to pure self-realization is a disease.
