Kashmir Ki Kali/Q. about Nirvikalpa

[Guest guest]

In Nirvikalpa Samadhi, both body consciousness and mental consciousness

along with the individual identity is absorbed in the Spiritual Heart,

and the Self-Recognition spontaneously is realized. The world and

everything disappears. One is in Deep Awake. Awake to one's own nature

by one's own nature. Sri Ramana has explained both Kevala Nirvikalpa

Samadhi and Sahaj Samadhi clearly from the Jnana perspective. This

process finds support in the Upanishads which speak of the Cave of the

Heart and in the Bhagavad Gita where Sri Krishna says, "I am in the

Heart of all beings..."

 

In Yoga schools, the complete union of Shiva and Shakti is at the

Sahasarara is considered to result in Nirvikalpa Samadhi. This Samadhi

if maintained for some time is difficult to come out of because mind

gradually recedes and loses the desire to come out of it. It obliterates

body consciousness through inner explosive force of the Shakti. It is

all absorbing union of Shakti and Shiva, like two lovers meetings who

had been starving for each other who do not wish to ever let go. It is

quite rare, however, and usually follows after long periods of spiritual

longing and yogic disciplines and practices and is experienced by

advanced adepts like Sri Ramakrishna.

 

All these experiences are helpful on the spiritual path. Everything

merges in the Self and various points of views are transcended in the

Absolute. Everything resolves itself in the Self in the immovable

silence whose nature is that of Sat-Chit-Ananda. Self is Sahaj. Self is

Nirvikalpa.

 

I will pass this to the Advaitin as well.

 

Love to all
