Guest guest Report post Posted April 9, 2006 Symptoms of Samadhi It has been said that the evidence of, the symptom of samadhi is the perpetual bliss and sweetness of all perceptions afterwards. What other symptoms are there of samadhi, what other evidences, internal or external, are there that samadhi has been experienced? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When all the vrttis[sentiments] of the citta[mind] are focused on a single point it is termed the state of concentration (eka'grabhu'mi). This, however exhalted, is not the ultimate state. The ultimate state is reached when the mind transcends all citta-vrttis (mental propensities) and merges in the object of contemplation (dhyeya). To reach that ultimate state one has to pass through the four stages of pratya'ha'ra yoga: yatama'na, vya'tireka, ekendriya and vashiika'ra.

Guest guest Report post Posted April 10, 2006 Sat Nam, There are stages of deepening one must go through in order to reach this level of Bliss and Consciousness. It is usually through extended periods of deep meditation and after one learns to still the mind. And after certain stages of mental, physical and emotional purification have occured. It is a breathless state of being. One will pass through different levels of Samadhi until you are able to fully stabilize this state. It is usually best to have the help of a Sadguru who is very familiar with these states of awareness, as there is definitely a danger of getting lost in one of the lower stages. When one is around a Satguru, it is possible to experience aspects of Samadhi, the Master, who holds this level of Being and Love will share their attainment with you so that you are able to know what the Goal is. One such Guide is Ammachi. Some levels of Samadhi are carried over from one previous lives of spiritual practice and attainment. There is much to learn on this path, this is just a simple explanation. Love and Peace, Stacee Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
