Background
The ordinary meaning of the word "Meditation" (Dhyana), is concentration of the mind. All people constantly ponder over some subject, individual or substance. The mind of every individual continues to shift in thoughts from one to the other and then to another object.
Hence, the state of the human mind, pondering
over worldly objects and things is known as ill-meditation (bad
concentration). All such meditations that hinder the spiritual progress (Sadhana) of the
self are to be given up. Let us enumerate here, the main types of bad concentration
and then proceed to understand meditation that leads to right religion
(Dharma).
