THE BEST FROM OUR SCRIPTURS – 7

 

SAMADHI – PART TWO

 

When consciousness reaches a state in which it becomes uniform

(nondual) it is samadhi.

(Amritanadopanishad 16)

 

Samadhi is that in which the consciousness in deepest concentration

and awareness becomes united with supreme consciousness

(Darshaopanishad 10.1)

 

Samadhi is that in, which the I-consciousness (ekata) merges, in

supreme consciousness

(Gandharva Tantra, Chapter 5, p.26)

 

As a crystal of salt thrown into water dissolves in water becomes

one with water so the state in which unity in " I " consciousness and

supreme consciousness is achieved is called samadhi.

(Saubhagyalakshmi Upanishad 2.14)

 

Samadhi is that state in which " I " consciousness and supreme

consciousness become one. It is without duality and full of bliss,

and therein remains only supreme consciousness (Shandilyopanishad

1.11.1)

 

When concentrative consciousness is lost it is samadhi (Mandala

Brahamanopanishad 1.1.10)

 

When the uniform concentrative consciousness is dissolved by the

most intensified concentration, there remains only the being of

supreme consciousness. (Annapurnopanishad 1.23)

When the deepest concentration on the supreme Brahman also

disappears by itself within, there arises nirvikalpa samadhi—in

which all latent impressions of feelings are eliminated.

(Annapurnopanishad 4.62)
