Samadhi

If we are going to give Advaita any credit or worth then the most fundamental thing it has to tell us: there is no duality. There is no “two.”

Advaita tells us that there is only the nameless and formless Singularity called Reality, Self, Atman, OM. This Reality is very simply: the thoughtless-samadhi of dreamless-sleep. This thoughtless-samadhi is the proper noun Samadhi.

This Samadhi is an ocean of unfathomable JOY in which the universe is not even an imaginary-drop. The universe is not even an imaginary-drop because it is nothing but thoughts. In Reality, the Samadhi of dreamless-sleep, there are no thoughts.

To try and visualize/imagine this Samadhi think of the most awake state you can imagine. Then imagine how much unfathomable JOY this utterly awake state has to be to make the universe and everything in it into literally NOTHING – not even one thought.

The only thing other than the Reality called Self, Samadhi, is thoughts.

Thoughts, however, do not count as part of a duality because they are Nothing. Thoughts come out of Nothing and return into the same Nothing to be Nothing.

We might want to argue that bleeding-bodies and broken-bones are more than just thoughts but that is exactly what the mind thinks in its sleep-dreams when/where they have to be thoughts.

Start adding thoughts to the Reality of Samadhi, dreamless-sleep, and you have all sorts of diluted samadhis that even more thoughts dilute into Kundalini and sphurana and everything else the mind can imagine … all the way to the words disease, devil and hell.

But all these words are just thoughts that keep the mind, these thoughts, blind and deaf to the Reality of unfathomable JOY called Samadhi that no mind, thoughts, can possibly understand, not even in its most wildest dreams.

The moment we think that this Samadhi is not the Atman, Self that Advaita tells us about then that very moment this thinking has created a duality.

With this duality the “not-two” of Advaita becomes meaningless so we might as well throw it, Advaita, out the proverbial window so that we can then worry about the more important things, like the devil (the mind) and its heaven and hell. the alias, gp
