1 Dharana (concentration) comes from fixing the mind,


2 In dhyana (meditation), the mind is fixed on one pointedly fixed on one object.


3 Samadhi (absorption) comes when that same object shines forth alone, the mind devoid of itself.


4 These three together are called samyama.


5 From this comes the light of wisdom.


6 This is applied on the different planes.


7 These three are internal limbs, compared to the previous ones.


8 Yet even these are external imbs compared to samadhi without seed.


9 At the moment the outgoing samskaras disappear, restraining samskaras appear.


10 The latent impressions flow peacefully.


11 Absorption comes from the ceasing of focusing on all objects and the the rise of focusing on one object.


12 Then, transformation to one-pointed focus occurs when the image in the mind is the same in the past as the present.


13 In this way, the senses can explain the changes in the nature and characteristics of an object.
