समाधि

Samadhi -> a superconscious state [3]

The first chapter of Pantajalis Yoga Sutras is samadhipada. Translated, means "Foundations of Union/Conclusion/Completion."

Swami Brahamananda suggests there are three levels of Samadhi

  • Savikalpa Samadhi - superconscious vision with thought
  • Nirvikalpa Samadi superconscious vision without thought.
  • Finally "the realization of that which is beyond thought and speech. In this state there is nothing to be seen; nothing to be heard. Everything is lost in the Infinite."[4]
