[ramakrishna] Thakur, savilkalpa/nirvikalpa samadhi

[Guest guest]

Dear friend,

In nutshell, it can be said that:

When the Universal Consciousness is divisible in only two : one of the

sadhaka and the second as his Ishtha (Chosen Ideal), that phase of

consciousness is called Savikalpa Samadhi;

And,

When The Universal Consciousness exists as It is ; i.e. without any

modification (not one nor two!); when sadhaka and his Ishtha become one,

when nothing else exists but One Existence, then that stage is called

nirvikalpa samadhi.

Precise expression indeed on, rather better still, a definition of,'Savikalpa

Samadhi'!

Thank you very much!
