Premanand Maharaj Ji
What is meditation (dhyan) and how will I know it is happening?
Mind rests only in God
Meditation is when the mind, which usually runs to people, things and places, stays only in the Supreme. Even one minute of forgetting the body in meditation brings a joyful state that lasts through the day.
Just as our mind's movement goes to people, things and places, when it stays only in the Supreme, that is called meditation.
