Guest guest Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 STUDY GROUP on SPIRITUAL INSTRUCTION CHAPTER 3 EXPERIENCE Anubhava V4. Q. What is the state beyond bliss? M. It is the state of unceasing peace of mind which is found in the state of absolute quiescence, jagrat-sushupti (lit. sleep with awareness) which resembles inactive deep sleep. In this state, in spite of the activity of the body and the senses, there is no external awareness, like a child immersed in sleep* (who is not conscious of the food given to him by his mother). A yogi who is in this state is inactive even while engaged in activity. This is also called sahaja nirvikalpa samadhi. (natural state of absorption in oneself without concepts) ___________________________ *The acts of sleeping children like eating and drinking are acts only in the eyes of others and not in their own. They do not therefore really do those acts in spite of their appearing to do them. ------- anu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
