God is benevolent dhyana

Sri Sadgurubhyoh Namah

Chapter 5, Text 29
bhoktaram yajna‑tapasam
sarva‑loka‑mahesvaram
suhrdam sarva‑bhutanam
jnatva mam santimrcchati



TRANSLATION
A person in full consciousness of Me, knowing Me to be the ultimate beneficiary of all sacrifices and austerities, the Supreme Lord of all planets and demigods, and the benefactor and well‑wisher of all living entities, attains peace from the pangs of material miseries.



Dhyana : Contemplate on the three states of consciousness (waking, dreaming, deep sleep). The conscious mind in waking state thinks that it is the master, but it is absent in deep sleep. Some one is taking care when the conscious mind is absent. The entity that is taking care is the Lord, and it is impartial, and friendly towards all beings. The Lord is the one who takes care in waking state also, as can be seen in the bodily functions and life events. Knowing that one is taken care of, Lord has not forgotten you, the mind can be at rest.
