Patanjali, Yoga Sutra, Chapter One: Samadhipadah (the chapter on Samadhi):
1.1 Here begins the authoritative instruction on yoga. 1.2 Yoga is the ability to direct the mind exclusively toward an object and sustain that direction without any distractions [single-pointedness] 1.3 Then the ability to understand the object fully and correctly is apparent. 1.4 [When yoga is absent] The ability to understand the object is simply replaced by the mind’s conception of that object or by a total lack of comprehension.
