In this profound and clarifying class on Dhyāna Yoga, Acharya Tadany centered the teaching on the essential practice of withdrawing the mind from anātmā (non-self), which he defined as three interconnected layers the external universe (all phenomena),  the physical body (sensations and form),  and the mind itself (thoughts, emotions, mental formations) With the ultimate goal of achieving cittaṁ viniyataṁ: a …
