| Итог: | Upasana in Hinduism is the objective method of meditation in which importance is given to various objects of meditation. Etymologically upasana means "sitting near" (upa=near, dsana =seat), that is, approaching an object mentally. The mind is focused on a mental image. The original purpose of such meditations was to train the mind for the practice of oic bara I, the direct subjective method of self-enquiry. Patanjali studied the epistemological and psychological aspects of objective concentration in greater detail than anybody has ever done, and codified his research into a science of concentration. His method is to take the aspirant step by step, first through some preliminary disciplines, and then through a series of objective meditations, until he finally realizes his own true Self. His ideas are now indissolubly connected with every type of sadhana in vogue in Hinduism. |
