त्रयमेकत्र संयमः ॥ ३.४॥

trayamekatra saṃyamaḥ .. 3.4..

4. (These) three (when practised) in regard to one object is Samyama.

Commentary on Sri Patanjali Yogasutra by Swami Vivekananda

When a man can direct his mind to any particular object and fix it there, and then keep it there for a long time, separating the object from the internal part, this is Samyama; or Dharana, Dhyana, and Samadhi, one following the other, and making one. The form of the thing has vanished, and only its meaning remains in the mind.
