Guest guest Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 Hello, Terms, definitions. If we all spoke the same language! Nirvikalpa means nondual. Nirvikalpa samadhi is our true nature. How do you go beyond that???? Like the french, english, russian, hindu, muslim, dudes that go to a water well. Each gets water, but calls it different words.
