TATAH PUNAH SHANTA UDITAU TULYA PRATYAYAU
CHITTASYA EKAGRATAH PARINAMHAH
WHEN THE RISE AND SUBSIDING OF THE WAVES OF THE THOUGHTS ARE EQUAL
THEN THE CHITTA ACHIEVES THE EKAGRATAH OR
SINGLE POINTED CONCENTRATION.
This Sutra sounds similar to Sutra 11. In both Sutra we are told that when the thought process ceases for any other object , the CHITTA is now EKAGRA or single pointed.So what is the difference between the two? When one starts the meditation practice , say for 20 or 30 mins each time, he my have the thought of things other than the object of the concentration. for as much as 3/4 th of the time.Then slowly this changes . So in the beginning there is rise and fall of the thoughts and the concentration is interrupted by the thoughts, But one does get better with practice and then the time that one is concentrating or in Samadhi is increased , This was told to us in Sutra 11 . Now in this one we are told that when the thought before the single pointed concentration and the thought after that is not there or is SAME , one has achieved the SAMADHI or uninterrupted concentration on the object of the SAMADHI.
