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.
