SAMADHI (TRANS-CONSCIOUSNESS)


The eighth step is Samadhi. This is the final stage of Yoga. Samadhi (trans-consciousness)  is the state of  superconsciousness and perfect calm. When the mind becomes one with the form of the object of its concentration in Dhyana (meditation), it leads one to the state of Samadhi. ‘Meditation means to absorb your mind in the Supreme Personality of Godhead. That is meditation, real meditation. Samadhi is the mind in its most concentrated state. The mind in samadhi possess power than a normal mind does not. When Meditation acheves maturity, the mind loses the sense of duality with the object of concentration, leading to the state of Samadhi. When we are free from attachment to all outer objects, the mind will be in peace. Our Essence of Mind is intrinsically pure, and the reason why we are perturbed is because we allow ourselves to be carried away by the circumstances we are in. He who is able to keep his mind unperturbed, irrespective of circumstances, has attained Samadhi. To be free from attachment to all outer objects is Dhyana, and to attain inner peace is Samadhi. In this concept, by spiritual practices, life is not allowed to go out of the body. The seed cells in the body never get damaged. Such a person stops the functions of the body after completion of his or her mission by his or her own. Samadhi is a spiritual state of consciousness. There you enjoy a supremely divine, all-pervading, self-amorous ecstasy. You become the object of enjoyment, you become the enjoyer and you become the enjoyment itself.
