SARWARTHATA EKAGRATAYOH KSHAYODAYAU CHITTASYA SAMADHI PARINAMAH
WHEN THE CHITTA STOPS BEING DIVERTED TO ALL THE DIFFERENT THINGS , THAT
IS SINGLE-POINTED CHITTA OCCURS ,THE CHITTA HAS REACHES THE SAMADHI.
In this SUTRA, we are told the same or the similar thing. The ARTHA, is is object of our sense organ attraction,So SARWARTH is all the objects of the attraction. So we are told that when the CHITTA or the MIND-INTELLIGENCE-AND EGO-stops being distracted by the objects of the attractions, then it becomes single pointed. The point of the concentration is the object of the SAMADHI. So when there is no distraction , one has achieved the level of the SAMADHI.
In previous SUTRAS we are told different rules for the behaviors and how we should eat , what we should eat and what we should do under certain circumstances . It becomes now clear why we were told the YAMAS and the NIYAMAS . If we continue to indulge in various sense pleasure activities, we will continue to think about them as the impressions left by these activities will lead to desires and the desires will lead to thoughts of action. So then we can not concentrate. So our behaviour should be such that we are DOING things , but are NOT ATTACHED ti them . I have seen some swamis who do not take 'seconds' when they are eating . I was told that some mix every thing that is offered to them in the plate , so as to avoid attachment to one particular food item. Again these things are required in the beginning. But practicing them will lead to quite mind or loss of disturbances of the thoughts when we are meditating and then and then only we can expect the single pointed concentration ans get to the lowest level of the SAMADHI
