Guest guest Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Dear Narasimhaji, Please answer this question (if you have the time) - I am going to ask it in a very technical " computer sciencey " way so that you get the import of the question I am trying to ask (which so far you have never answered): Lets say you have a hypothetical camera that can take snapshots of everything material (material in the vedic sense i.e. gunas and higher), then what has changed in a snapshot of a person immediately before they enter Nirvikalpa samadhi (NVKS for short) and after, assuming the eventual goal is to " return " from NVKS? I do not include Brahman in any " snapshot " since it is non material and invariant anyway. a) Is the Ahamkara gone after they enter NVKS? If so, how do they return from NVKS, and who is this " they " anyway? b) If Ahamkara and consequently sookshma sarira are still there, how are they different. c) If they are not different, what quantity is it in the person that has gotten enlightened/changed? All these questions are related to the " doughnut questions " I posed in /message/3357, but I guess you didnt see those (and that's quite ok by me, you have so many people constantly expecting replies) Regards, Sundeep > > Some people who can reach Nirvikalpa samadhi may sometimes be in Nirvikalpa samadhi and sometimes in other dualistic samadhis. For example, Totapuri was familiar only with non-dual Nirvikalpa samadhi, but Ramakrishna Paramahamsa used to go to non-dual Nirvikalpa samadhi as well as other dualistic samadhis frequently. > > * * * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
