The philosophy of D/U is based on four points of mind that we need: Cogitation: Thinking is undirected-vague; try to go back from your thinking to where the thought came. Retrace the steps-you will see that one thought leads to another without any direction from you. The mind moves like a mad man- anywhere and everywhere, leading nowhere. Contemplation: The madman is led, directed, he cannot escape anywhere. The mind always tries to escape from one path to another, to some association. You cut off all paths. You direct your mind to one road only - this is called contemplation. As a scientist, mathematician, or a person working on something, say a problem, you are in contemplation. Many things will distract you, but you do not allow your mind to move from its path, the mind must move in only one line. Science is based on contemplation, it is logical and rational, it is not absurd. Concentration: The mind is not allowed to move at all. It is only allowed to stay at one point, to be at one point, The entire energy, the whole movement stays at one point. Yoga is concerned with concentration. The yogic mind has its thinking focused, fixed at one point; no movement is allowed. Meditation: All concentration points are dissolved in Meditation - only Consciousness remains. 'I am not the Mind- I am the Consciousness- though my consciousness goes frequently with the mind - I bring it back. I retreat from the mind's border, the mind's play.' Meditation is a process of Retreat.- where
