Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 >> How can one make realization steady such that its peace remains undisturbed in the day-to-day life? When Samadhi happens in Life... it is a glimpse [of Enlightenment]! When 'living' happens in Samadhi... it is [living in] Enlightenment! ... State of Samadhi can be plainly defined as... Self [you] without any 'content'... Samadhi makes you aware of your eternal, unchanging... existential, aware, bliss nature! You realize that IT [you] can never cease, can never really change and can never be under any threat! You develop the 'ability' to 'feel' this existential nature anytime you want, desire or wish! ... You also realize that your relationship with the world is of 'giving'... The world in reality can not give you anything! Because, there is nothing that you really lack and all that is really valuable in the world is simply 'put' by you! IOW... it is outward flow of your inner love, beauty, peace and bliss! You realize that ultimately you [Consciousness] don't really need the world for anything... but, all that is really good and valuable in the world [Light, love, Peace... God's Love] can only come through You! You see yourself as a 'medium' through which the divine can Act! ... In this state of Samadhi... everything other essential you falls away... you still remain Fully... Shining, Existential, Bliss! Thus, you realize that none of your ego, your 'personality', your 'role' or anything that you 'think' is really You! They all 'depend' on you but, your existential is totally Independent of all of them and ...is never really 'touched' or threatened by any of these! ... All this is Greatly Valuable Knowledge and Insight and has great transformative Power! However, one [or many] experience of Samadhi doesn't mean that the whole of a person is automatically and instantly 'transformed' and his behavior, attitude and actions get automatically aligned to it! That happens only when the Samadhi becomes [somewhat] a steady existential nature in day to day life not an 'occasional' 'experience'! Only then, you really know and feel on a constant basis that " you " have no fear, no real need, no real desire... only play! Only then... it can really transform your act and behavior. Stabilizing and integration of Samadhi into day-to-day social living might require some practice! In many cases like Ramana and Tolle they felt the need to take time away from society and spend time in seclusion to practice and meditate to make it steady and firm! Ramana called it... developing the 'strength of mind'! Tolle too talked extensively about this process and various ways... the individual mind [ego] can try to re-assert and how it needs to be then pulled back to the source. ... In many other cases, such as Papaji and Adyashanti their realization came after many years of disciplined sadhna and meditation and their concentration and mind was thus made very strong by this process! One might guess that when realization happens to such an individual... 'sustaining' it in real- life might require relatively little practice due to their existing high focus and concentration! One might also guess that due to long practice, focus and discipline... the 'meditation' [keeping mind steady and focused] might have become like a second nature to them that happens 'on its own' and thus, they don't see it as something that they 'do' or they 'need to do' anymore! ... Either way making the Samadhi [experience of Pure Self] steady and firm while interacting in the real-life is what is of real importance here! If one finds it 'steady' without any practice nothing else maybe, required... if one finds himself/herself falling back to 'wrong identification' again... practice can be used to make it steady!
