mind fixed on the void


Explanation:
हिंदी शब्दसागर एवं बृहत् हिन्दी कोश, दोनों में शून्यमनस्क का अर्थ अन्यमनस्क दिया गया है। हिंदी शब्दसागर में अन्यमनस्क का अर्थ 'जिसका जी कहीं न लगता हो, उदास, चिंतित, अनमना' दिया गया है। बृहत् हिन्दी कोश में अन्यमनस्क का अर्थ 'जिसका चित्त कहीं और हो, अनमना' दिया गया है। साथ ही Oxford Hindi-English Dictionary में अन्यमनस्क का अंग्रेज़ी अनुवाद absent-minded दिया गया है। इस तरह सरसरी तौर पर देखने से आशुतोष जी का सुझाव सही लगता है।

किंतु मेरे विचार से दर्शनशास्त्र के संदर्भ में शून्यमनस्क के अर्थ का आधार अन्यमनस्क का अर्थ 'जिसका चित्त कहीं और हो' होना चाहिए। इस युक्ति के अनुसार शून्यमनस्क का अर्थ 'शून्य पर केन्द्रित चित्त' होगा, जिसका अंग्रेज़ी अनुवाद mind fixed on the void होगा. मेरी समझ में ध्यान का उद्देश्य यही है.

मुझे लगता है दर्शनशास्त्र के संदर्भ में यह व्याख्या सही होनी चाहिए किंतु इसकी पुष्टि समुचित संदर्भ उपलब्ध होने पर ही हो सकती है.

Explanation:
This should be used as per context, and in which target variant of English, it's going to use. Because in American English we can use it in more casual ways rather than UK English. So it should be as per sense reflection of text.
