The mental ability to concentrate is inherent to all; it is not extraordinary or mysterious. Meditation is not something that a Yogi has to teach you; you already have the ability to shut out thoughts.
Yatha dipo nivatastho nengate sopama smrta
Yogino yatachittasya yunjato yogamatmanah
Bhagwad Gita 6:19
(As a lamp in a windless place does not flicker, such is the disciplined mind of a Yogi practicing meditation on self).
When a man in the process of dreaming becomes conscious that he is dreaming, he is no longer identified with the phenomena; he is not affected exultantly or dolefully. God consciously dreams His cosmic play and is unaffected by it's dualities. A yogi who perceives his real self as separate from his active senses and their objects never becomes attached to anything. He is aware of the dream nature of the universe and watches it without being entangled in its complex but ephemeral nature.
