🧘♂️Pawan Maheshwari . Ekagra means “one-pointed,” and is a concentrated, single-pointed state of mind. When the mind has attained the ability to be one-pointed, meditation becomes possible and the real practice of yoga begins. Our internal and external activities are no longer a distraction and we can focus on daily tasks while undisturbed and unaffected by other stimuli. We can rest comfortably in the awareness of the present moment. According to Vyasa (1:1), the ekagra state of mind, “Illumines the true nature of things, The fewer the desires, the lesser the thoughts. Therefore, you should try to reduce your desires if you want to concentrate the mind. If you reduce your wants, if you do not try to fulfil your desires, if you try to eradicate your desires one by one, your thoughts will diminish in frequency and length. The number of thoughts per minute will also decrease. Worldly pleasures intensify the desire for enjoying greater pleasures. Hence, the mind of worldly people is very restless. There is no satisfaction and mental peace. The mind can never be satisfied, whatever amount of pleasure you may store up for it. The more it enjoys the pleasures, the more it wants them. So, people are exceedingly troubled and bothered by their own minds. Hence, in order to remove these troubles, the sages thought it best to deprive the mind of all sensual pleasures. When the mind has been concentrated or made extinct, it cannot pinch one to seek for further pleasure. All mental disturbance is removed forever and the person attains real peace. .
