Guest guest Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 nirvikalpa samadhi as described in atma bodha upnishad---- http://www.geocities.com/hindu_shastras/ebooks/upanishads/atma_bodha_upanishad.htm The Maya has gone away from me, I am the pure vision; my ego has gone down, so has the difference between world, god and soul. I am the inner-self, without positive and negative rules; I am the expansive Bliss; I am the witness, independent, exerting in my greatness; without old age and decay, opposing sides, pure knowledge, the ocean of liberation; I am subtle without any attributes. I am without three qualities, all worlds exists in my belly; the changeless consciousness, beyond reason and action, I have no parts, unborn, pure reality. I am endless knowledge, auspicious, indivisible, faultless, reality unbounded. I am to be known by Agamas, attractive to all the worlds. I am pure joy; purity, sole, ever shining, beginningless; I have ascertained the highest Truth. I know myself without a second, with discrimination. Even then Bondage and Liberation are experienced. The world has gone away that appears to be real like serpent and rope; only Brahman exists as the basis of the world; therefore the world does not exist; like sugar pervaded by the taste of the sugarcane, I am pervaded by Bliss. All the three worlds, from Brahma to the smallest worm are imagined in me. In the ocean there are many things, from the bubble to the wave; but the ocean does not desire these – So also, I have no desire for things of the world; I am like a rich-man not desiring poverty. A wise person abandons poison favouring Amrita. The sun which makes the pot shine is not destroyed along with the pot; so also the spirit is not destroyed with the body. I have no bondage nor liberation, no Shastra, no Guru. I have gone beyond Maya – let life go away or let the mind be attacked – I have no misery as I am filled with joy, I know myself; Ignorance has run away somewhere – I have no doership nor duty, kula and gotra. These belong to the gross body, not to me different from it. Hunger, thirst, blindness, etc., belong to the Linga-deha only. Dullness, desire etc., belong only to the Karana-deha. Just as to an owl the sun is dark, so also for an ignorant person there is darkness in Brahman . When vision is blocked by clouds he thinks there is no sun. Just as Amrita, different from poison is not affected by its defects, I do not touch the defects of Inertia. Even a small lamp can remove big darkness; so even a little knowledge destroys big ignorance. Just as there is no serpent in the rope at any time, there is no world in me. Even practising this for a muhurta (a short time) one does not return (to this world). The New with improved product search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2003 Report Share Posted October 18, 2003 devi: this is my favorite description of nirvikalpa samadhi NIRVANA is that state where apparently "God Is Not" > This is the only state where > "God Is Not" and > "Consciousness Is" > this experience of the first stage of Fana > is what Buddha emphasized > but later on it was misinterpreted > as Buddha having emphasized that there was no God > the reality, however > is that God Is; > but in the absolute vacuum state of the first stage of Fana > only consciousness remains experiencing "Absolute Vacuum" > as it can never happen for God not to exist > in the state of Nirvana > God plays the part of consciousness itself > which consciousness is sometimes termed super-consciousness or "Maha- > Chaitanya" > the second stage of Fana must immediately and invariable follow this > Nirvan state > and the "I Am God" state is experienced consciously > the first stage of Fana is thus immediately followed by the second > state of Fana called "Fana-Fillah" > where the annihilated false and limited ego or "I" is replaced by the > real and infinite, unlimited "I" > on which the super-consciousness now becomes automatically focused > simultaneously > the "Absolute Vacuum" is automatically filled by the experience of > the Infinite. > the super-consciousness of God in the man state, as man now fixed and > focused on the unlimited "I" > spontaneously identifies man with God the Infinite. > Simultaneously with the identification, the super-consciousness of > God the Infinite experiences the "I Am God" state. > This is the GOAL. > attainment of the Goal is to attain the "Nirvikalpa-Samadhi" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 Cany body describe in what kind of samadhi Bhagavan Sri Sthya Sai Baba is in ? Or incarnations like christ, Rama and krishna are beyond all the states as his devotees claim that he is an incarnation. Is it correct to assume that he is in sahaja samadhi like Sri Ramana?
