📜 Hindi

ध्यान में जाते हैं तो उनको न ज्ञान, न योग कहा जाता.

🔤 Transliteration

dhyān meṁ jāte haiṁ to unko na jñān, na yog kahā jātā hai.

💬 Translation

When one enters into dhyān, it is called neither knowledge nor yoga.

More explicit in BK terms:

Entering into a state of dhyān is considered neither gyan (spiritual knowledge) nor yog (conscious remembrance).

📚 Vocabulary

• ध्यान (dhyān): inner absorption, meditative state
• ध्यान में जाना: to enter a state of dhyān
• ज्ञान (jñān / gyan): conscious spiritual knowledge, understanding
• योग (yog): union through conscious remembrance (yād)
• न … न: neither … nor
• कहा जाता है: is called, is considered

⚙️Grammar

ध्यान में जाना (“to go into dhyān”)

The verb जाना (to go / to enter) is crucial:

• it indicates entering a state,
• not maintaining an active, conscious relationship.

This already suggests a passive or absorptive condition, not an alert practice.

🟣 Clarifying the Meaning of Dhyān

1️⃣ Dhyān in Classical Yoga (Patañjali)

In the Yoga Sūtra of Patañjali:

• dhyāna = uninterrupted flow of awareness toward a single object
• a lucid, conscious, stable state
• not trance, not loss of awareness
• a high limb of aṣṭāṅga-yoga

⚠️ This is NOT the meaning used in the BK text.

2️⃣ Dhyān as Used in This BK Context

Here, dhyān refers to the common devotional / experiential usage:

• inward absorption
• eyes closed
• withdrawal from the external world
• sometimes accompanied by visions, sensations, silence

The expression “ध्यान में जाते हैं” means:

they go into an inner absorptive state

This is closer to absorption or trance, not classical yogic dhyāna.

🟣 Why “Neither Gyan nor Yog”?

🔹 Not Gyan (Knowledge)

Because gyan implies:

• clear understanding
• conscious awareness
• discrimination and clarity

An absorbed state alone does not equal understanding.

🔹 Not Yog (BK meaning)

In BK teachings:

• yog = yād (conscious remembrance)
• a living relationship with the Father
• can be practiced with open eyes, during action

An inner absorbed state:

• is not a relationship,
• is not active remembrance,
• therefore is not yog.

🟣 Link with the Following Sentence

ध्यान में जाने वालों पर माया भी बहुत वार करती है

Those who enter such absorptive states:

• may lose vigilance,
• may become experience-oriented,
• may be subtly influenced by ego or illusion (Māyā).

That is why the text warns:

बहुत खबरदार रहना होता है
(one must be very careful).

🟣 Clear Summary

• Dhyān (Patañjali): lucid, continuous awareness
• Dhyān (here): absorptive inner state
• Gyan: conscious understanding
• Yog (BK): conscious remembrance and relationship

👉 Therefore:

Entering dhyān is neither gyan nor yog.

🟣 Key Line to Remember

Yoga is not a state; it is remembrance.
