Effortless Dharana (poorly translated as concentration), leading to Dhyana (sublime spontaneous contemplation on the Divine), and finally Samadhi (actual merging into oneness with the object of contemplation, pure consciousness or the Divine). So what happens down the road Judy (advanced techniques), when the mantra is instructed to be thought at a certain 'chakra' location? Is that using effort?
