SAMADHI PAD SUTRA-37

                                         VITA RAGA VISHAYAM VA CHITTAM

     WHEN THE MIND IS CONCENTRATED UPON THE CHITTA OF SOMEONE WHO IS

 WITHOUT(VIT) ATTACHMENT TO SUBJECTS (THEN CHITTAATTAINS THE SAMADHI)

When the mind concentrates on the Chitta of a sage or highly evolved soul then one has better concentration and can attain the Samadhi. So when we see some one who is highly evolved we feel good and when we think about them , we are likely to have good thoughts and appreciation of the achievement that is done by such sages, If I think about Swami Vivekananda , I can only think of his greatness and his devotion and his lack of attachments to any mortal things.The better example may the opposite of Swami Vivekananda. What kind of thoughts come to your mind if you think about say Karina Kappor or Padukon or Priti Zinta,(for Indian males) or Shahrukh Khan or Akshay Kumar(for Indian females) or Obama or Bush or Clinton(for political junkies)?You will think about all sorts of attachments and and certainly can not concentrate. But if one thinks about a great sage all the attachments are forgotten . So one can get rid of thoughts related to attachment by thinking about such great pious persons.
     So we are given one other way to concentrate and get rid of thoughts related to attachments.
