Ueno Park Tokyo
Raised the veils of light and shadow, evaporated all the haze of grief, sailed away all the dawn of transient joy
Faded to dim sensory mirage.
Love, hate, health, illness, life, death: Perished these false shadows on the screen of duality.
The storm of maya stilled with the magic wand of intuition deep.
Present, past, future, no longer exist for me, I only everlasting, onifluente, I, everywhere.
Planets, stars, constellations dust, dirt, volcanic eruptions of doomsday cataclysms,
The furnace model of creation, glaciers of silent x-rays, burning electron floods.
Thoughts of all men, past, present, future every blade of grass, myself, mankind,
Each particle of universal dust, anger, greed, good, bad, salvation,
I swallowed, transmuted all in the vast ocean of blood of my own one Being.
Rejoicing on fire, often fanned by meditation, blinding my eyes filled with tears,
Burst into immortal flames of bliss, consumed my tears, my limits, my all.
The Knowledge, the Knower, the Known, unified!
Palpitation quiet, uninterrupted peace always new,
Eternally alive.
Transcendent delight to all the expectations of the imagination,
Bliss of Samadhi!
Realization, enlightenment, samadhi, nirvana, these are some of the many words coined to define the goal of spiritual quest.
I quote the following words of the great masters and some classic texts on this subject.
"The overall vision is so clear that that individual can no longer laugh, and even irreverent look, when you see the fantastic superstructure of superstition and mystery that is built on and around the elemental simplicity that is the truth."
(Shri Nisargadatta Maharaj)
"Being a man is made to feel full and free within, conscious and own all of their personal resources, open without fear or complexes to life in all its manifestations and therefore getting maximum performance with minimum effort in any of their actions which arise with the spontaneity and natural feeling of the song of a bird or the eruption of a volcano. "
(Tantra-Yoga, Antonio Blay)
When the hard, crumble identification with other levels of consciousness, which are provided by the Muladhara Chakra, Svadhisthana, Manipura, Anahata and Vishuddha, we arrive at the Ajna, which is the deepest.
At this level are given the recognition and dissolution of the complex and projections and, consequently, it produces an expansion of the inner world which results in a new personality much more comprehensive and conscious of the reality of being one and indivisible.
Here the person is no longer fragmented and not reduce your vision a little "me" as in previous chakras. His vision of the world and itself is larger and more comprehensive. The pairs of opposites like pleasure and pain will be experienced in another level of understanding. He becomes a being complete in itself, now integrated and cohesive, allowing you to live what he is.
To achieve this level of consciousness, individuals feel confused and engage with their own projections that are inherent in each of these levels (Muladhara Svadhisthana, etc. ...).
Self-realization is only possible for those who managed to overcome these difficulties and started to act according to what is felt and lives as his own true nature,
Total Being that he has always been and now is recognized as.
This perception is initially intellectual, sometimes nebulous, but as it develops the process of internalization, it strengthens and affirms, then, becomes experiential. In the course of this process is the being turned into non-being and non-being turn into spontaneous existence.
The state in which consciousness is in concentration and is
illuminated by the divine light—without any desire—that super-
conscious state is called samadhi. (Annapurnopanishad 1.48)
By sensory control, control of desires, concentration, and ascesis
(rigorous self-denial, and active self-restraint), a yogi will be in
samadhi. In samadhi all love is directed toward the Supreme Being;
one is fully attached and absorbed in Him and experiences in all
bliss in Him. From samadhi, knowledge contained in the word-form
(pranava) is revealed to the yogi.
(Nrisinghalapinyopanishad 2.6.4)
The continuous flow of consciousness in the form of the Brahman, the
Supreme Being in which the I-ness has been dissolved, is called
SAMPRAJNATA SAMADHI. It is attained by prolonged practice of dhyana.
(Muktikopanishad 2.53)
The mind operating at the sensory level is the root cause of all
worldly knowledge. If the mind is dissolved, there will be no
worldly knowledge. Therefore keep the consciousness fixed on the
Supreme Being in deepest concentration. (Adhyatmopanishad 26)
Samadhi is that state in which consciousness is only in the nature
of the object concentrated on and is still, like the flame of a lamp
in a windless place, and from which the feeling of the action of
concentration and I-ness ( " I am concentrating " ) has gradually
disappeared. (Adhyatmopanishad 35)
The state in which the mind is devoid of restlessness, I-ness,
pleasure, pains, and in which consciousness is absolutely motionless
like a rock, in deepest concentration, is samadhi. The state in
which there is tranquility is samadhi. (Annapurnopanishad 1.49-50)
The state of consciousness in which there are no objects, no
passions, no aversions, but there is supreme happiness and superior
power, is samadhi. (Mahopanishd 4.62)
Samadhi is the state of hyperconsciousness of megalucidity, which provides self-knowledge, as well as knowledge of the universe.
Samadhi consider unattainable, worthy only of the great Masters. Something that mere mortals should not aspire to or otherwise considered to be pretentious. And who strikes should deny it publicly to avoid the scorn of other yogis! What a distortion!
The sabíja samadhi, or samadhi with seed, is a state of consciousness that can be translated as a pre-lighting and is available to any practitioner healthy and disciplined, which has passed all previous stages and each of them remained in the prescribed time for his master. There is no danger or some mysticism. It's just a state of consciousness.
The Nirbíja Samadhi is the final stage, the practitioner reaches the goal of yoga, the culmination of human evolution. There is no way to describe it. It is said that when the disciples of the enlightened Ramakrishna asked him to explain what was the samadhi, the Master simply went into Samadhi.
Only that the phenomenon is a state of consciousness that is above many dimensions of the mind and therefore it is impossible to understand with the help of mental mechanisms, logic or culture.
For now, Stay tune for Signs of his Spiritual awakening...
