Bhaavaarth
Shankaracharya. cittasya ekasmin ālambane sarvataḥ samāhṛtya punaḥ punaḥ sthāpanam abhyāsaḥ — man ko sab or se samet kar ek aalamban par baar-baar tikaana — yahi abhyaas.
Aacharya Ramanuja. atha sahasā eva mayi sthiraṃ samādhātuṃ na śaknoṣi — agar ekdam sthir na kar sako; svābhāvika…asaṃkhyeyakalyāṇaguṇasāgare … mayi niratiśayapremagarbhasmṛtyabhyāsayogena — mere asankhya kalyaan gunon ke saagar mein, prem se bhari smriti ke abhyaas se.
Madhusoodan Saraswati. Seedhi ka nakshaa dete hain: pratimādau bāhye bhagavaddhyānābhyāsas tadaśaktau bhāgavatadharmānuṣṭhānaṃ tadaśaktau sarvakarmaphalatyāga — pehle pratima jaise baahari aalamban par dhyaan ka abhyaas; woh na ho to bhaagavat dharm (seva-kirtan); woh bhi na ho to sab karmon ke phal ka tyaag. Aur "Dhananjay" sambodhan par sundar baat: bahūn śatrūn jitvā dhanam āhṛtavān asi … evaṃ manaḥśatruṃ jitvā tattvajñānadhanam āhariṣyasi — jaise shatruon ko jeet kar dhan laaye, waise man-roopi shatru ko jeet kar tattva-gyaan ka dhan laaoge.
