The Power of One-Pointed Thinking

When you work on becoming one-pointed in your thinking, say you're doing tratak, which is a technique of working with a candle flame. You don't look at the candle. You just be here and there's the candle being there. And pretty soon all your thoughts are all around here. They're like little bugs flying in and around the candle flame. At that point, you can perform a thing called samyama to free your consciousness from your body. In other words, you have overridden that veil of ignorance, which had convinced you all those years that you were two different things.
