Dhyana IV
In the work, the artist depicts the swirling random movement
of the mind and uncontrolled circumstances that surround us, every moment,
often dictating our actions. Thus we react to all that we are surrounded by and
enveloped in. The monk is also therefore in a similar situation but appears to
emerge out of it, retaining his serenity which is reflected by his posture.
This retention of calmness in a tumultuous environment is achieved through
Dhyana, the practice of mind control by which we stop all thinking and seek to
realize Truth in its essence. Of the many different paths to Nirvana, the most
important one is the path of Dhyana, the
practice of “stopping and realizing.”
