पातञ्जल योगसूत्र (स्वामी विवेकानन्द भाष्य एवं सूत्र व्याख्या)

received (the self, the mind and external objects),
concentratedness and sameness, like the crystal
(before different coloured objects.)
What results from this constant meditation? We must
remember how in a previous aphorism Patanjali went into the
various states of meditation, and how the first will be the
gross, and the second the fine objects, and from them the
advance is to still finer objects of meditation, and how, in all
these meditations, which are only of the first degree, not very
high ones, we get as a result that we can meditate as easily on
the fine as on the grosser objects. Here the Yogi sees the three
things, the receiver, the received, and the receiving,
corresponding to the Soul, the object, and the mind. There are
three objects of meditation given us. Firs the gross things, as
bodies, or material objects, second fine things, as the mind,
the Chitta, and third the Purasa qualified, not the Purasa
itself, but the egoism. By practice, the Yogi gets established in
all these meditations. Whenever he meditates he can keep out
all other thought; he becomes identified with that on which he
mediates; when he meditates he is like a piece of crystal;
before flowers the crystal becomes almost identified with
flowers. If the flower is red, the crystal looks red, or if the
flower is blue, the crystal looks blue.
