[Guest guest]

Dear Br. Pranipataji,Pranamsthank you for the exhaustive reply. The difference becomes clearer now.Would you be so kind and explain some sanskrit terms that you used in your post:samsthA pravyathitAand also in this context: nishkala, akalaThank youOm ShantiSitaraVon: Br.

when derived in the sense of that into which all thoughts are gathered, samAdhi can mean mind (BG 2.44), when derived in the sense of that upon which the mind(thought) is fixed, samAdhi can mean the object of dhyAna - the Self (BG 2.53), and while referring to the fixation/absorbtion , it can mean Self-absorbtion (BG 2.54).

 

In first two cases,with possiblity of duality or triputi (dhyAtA, dhyAna and dhyeya), samAdhi can be placed on par with samAdhAna. In last case, when we remove the dualities and differences of meditator, meditation and the state of meditator merging and becoming one with the meditated is implied, samAdhi is not samAdhana and is the culmination of nididhyAsana.

Yes.

samAdhi-utthitaH - samAdheH utthitaH means one who has been in samAdhi state earlier - a jnAni or jivanmuktaH.

 

mukti or final beatitude lies in one getting firmly established in abhaya - fearlessness and having equanimity - seeing everything as not different from the Self - sarvAtmabhAva.

 

One who practise meditation(dhyAna) or have the quality of samAdhana do not get fearlessness.

 

Arjuna who asks the Lord in the tenth chapter in which objects you are to be mediated upon, is in the stage of one who has got samAdhana as a quality; but when he was shown the ekAtmya of all in eleventh chapter become terrified, lost steadiness and calmness of mind.

 

Instead of samsthA he got pravyathitA. (BG 11.23)

 

samAdhi is generally explained as sam - samyak - well; A - placed; dhI - intellect. When that placing/fixing/ absorbing is acalA, nishcalA and samsthA (BG 2.53) it qualifies to be called as nididhyAsana.

 

In Shri Guru Smriti,

Br. Pranipata Chaitanya
