any, so now what are we going to do?” is all artadhyan. Artadhyan and raudradhyan are perpetually occurring every day. People have failed to understand dharmadhyan. Shukladhyan is the fourth type of dhyan, which is the direct cause of moksha.
Questioner: What is it when people do dhyan for their peace of mind?
Dadashri: What kind of dhyan do they do? Questioner: They meditate, don't they?
Dadashri: That leads to intoxication of the ego (maadakata); one does not gain much from it.
Questioner: Then how is it beneficial?
Dadashri: That which is beneficial, is the knowledge of the Self: when you know and experience the answer to, ‘Who am I?', knowing this will give you permanent peace. Nothing will affect You, whether someone picks your pocket or does anything to you.
Questioner: Can dhyan be done without sitting still in one place?
Dadashri: Dhyan occurs on its own while you are carrying out your ordinary daily mundane activities. People have artadhyan and raudradhyan day and night. Even the dhyan that takes one to Devgati (life as a celestial being) and the dhyan that leads to moksha, can be performed while carrying out one's daily activities. Dhyan: Connection between Dhyeya and Dhyata
Dhyan - meditation. Dhyeya – the goal for which the meditation is being done. Dhyata – the one who “meditates” – can be relative or real.
