DHYANA (Meditation of God) has remained a mere BRAHMA DHYANA (illusion.....)!
It is rightly observed by the realized seers that:
"Avidyavikranteihi Chapalchariteir Durnayashateir Jagalluptalokam Kritamatighan Dhvantnichitam. Twayochchhedyashesham Parmatatamovratamatulam Pranitam Bhavyanam Shivapadamayanandanllayam."
O JNANI ATMAN ! (Wise Self) you achieve the eternal blissful home of salvation, for which you follow the process of Dhyana by taking the shelter of the path of SYADAVADA (the approch and vision of totality, integrity & all-sidedness). Because, due to the adoption of one sided, incomplete, compartmental and obstinate view of things, the scholars and seekers (the so called scholars) have sidetracked themselves and the people of the world and have pushed the world, into a dense dark state of affairs.
Therefore, it is expecetd of the persons of right-understanding that they should bring the world back on the right track by SYADAVADAbased Dhyana, since the form and nature of thing is not EKANTIKA (One-sided): ie. not., always in NITYA (Eternal) or ANITYA (Noneternal); EK (One) or ANEK (many) SHUDDHA (pure) or ASHUDDHA (impure)...... Because of this type of one sided understanding, the differentiative results of DHYATA-DHYANA-DHYEYA
