Guest guest Posted July 14, 2001 Report Share Posted July 14, 2001 Dear Satsang Kaur, I just posted a letter to you and then read the letter you wrote to Kathy. ....I just want to know when you said she could be experiencing a sort of Savikalpa Samadhi because of the experiencing of" being lauched into a void where thought, sound and normal feeling sensations are absent"---Does this mean that there are different levels or intensities of this experience? I was always under the impression that I would completely quit breathing and it would be a "sudden occurance" not a sort of peaceful slipping into a state bathed in warm light..(where thought etc fades away)..(which is what happens to me) So, could I also be experiencing a sort of Savikalpa Samadhi? michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes there are different levels. Savikalpa (where you are still aware of your mind and personal identity) and nirvikalpa (the state of absolute consciousness) are the two main categories, but within these as well there are subtle degrees. > I was always under the impression > that I would completely quit breathing and it would be a "sudden > occurance" not a sort of peaceful slipping into a state bathed in > warm light..(where thought etc fades away)..(which is what happens to me) > So, could I also be experiencing a sort of Savikalpa Samadhi? Yes indeed, this is what is happening to you and it is very good. Keep up. Love and blessings, Satsang Kaur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
