Definition of Dhyana (meditation)
To Vivekananda, meditation (Dhyana) was a bridge that connected human soul to the God, the Supreme.[25] He defined Dhyana meditation as—[26]
When the mind has been trained to remain fixed on a certain internal or external location, there comes to it the power of flowing in an unbroken current, as it were, towards that point. This state is called Dhyana. When one has so intensified the power of Dhyana as to be able to reject the external part of perception and remain meditating only on the internal part, the meaning, that state is called Samadhi.
Procedure of meditation suggested by Vivekananda
In the book Raja Yoga and several other lectures, Vivekananda also suggested the procedure of meditation. He said—[27]

Therefore the posture must be such that the weight of the body is not on the spine. Let it be free from all pressure.
Vivekananda published a summary of Raja Yoga from Kurma Purana. In the summary, he defined the meaning, purpose and procedure of meditation. The procedures of meditation—[28]
Sit straight, and concentrate on the divine light(true form of God) between the eyebrows that's what he meant by Samprkeshy Nasikagram (ie place between your eyebrows, not your nose tip).This whole process of divine meditation can only be initiated by an enlightened master who himself have seen God and can make you see that right at the time of Deeksha.Later on, we have to concentrate our mind on that divine light. And after daily practicing, you can attain the oneness with God.You need not to facade your appearance of humble man/woman as all the characteristics of dharma will originate FROM WITHIN
