He brings in the concept of `absorption’ which any sincere practicant would acknowledge with sincere gratitude. He says that concentration is to be taken as absorption (non- concentration with flow of thoughts, without effect on the mind) and that is the real state in meditation.

He further states, ‘This is why in spite of the continuity of thoughts often present at the time of meditation, one ... experiences a peculiar state of concentration better interpreted as “absorption” ’.
