emptybill, when I think of a contemplative, I think of someone absorbed in
adoration of God. I don't think of someone thinking and ruminating about God.
Plus I think sanyama includes not only darshana
Dharana, actually, not darshana. Two different things.
but also dhyana and finally samadhi. But I would bet that all traditions of
any depth have similar practices.

Also, the TMO description of contemplation is based upon the term's
mis-identification as thinking and rumination which was current
in the 19th-20th century ... i.e. MMY's British era education.
None of that is concordant with the classical description of theoria as used by
Neo-Platonists nor with the Christian schema following after Evagrius.
Several scholars have also demonstrated the similarities between the Greek idea
of theoria and the Indian idea of darśana (darshan), including Ian
Rutherford,[12] Binod Kumar Agarwala, Gregory Grieve, and Michael A. Di Giovane.
