Baba Ram Dev strongly advocates yoga for a healthy mind and healthy body. One of the yoga techniques that he emphasizes on is “abhyasa.” It is a state of mind when it is in maximum steady state. In other words, abhyasa is achieved when the mind stops wandering. This technique comprises of three phases respectively known as dharana, dhyana and samadhi. Dharana is a state of mind when it gets detached from all materialistic pleasures and focus on some particular things such as dot, idol, etc. Here the absolute concentration is diverted to a single track.
