Human mind is a complex\nmechanism. For thousands of years, sages and saints have been seeking to find\nthat one great way to stop the unwanted blather that dampens the conscience.\nThey meditated for days, called in the Divine powers and changed their ways of\nlife, to unravel the path to a silent mind and contended soul. Battling the\nchaos of the modern world, many saints revealed that the path of oneness of\nmind and soul is nothing but \u201cSamadhi<\/em>\u201d.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The modern world has defined this\npious way-out in so many different ways by calling it as a type of mindfulness\nmeditation, ability to sit at one place for hours and what not. However, the\nessence of Samadhi is nothing but to increase the resistance towards negative\ncircles of life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Constitutes the Negative Circle of Life?\n<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The presence of \u201cself \u201cand the\nabsence of \u201cserve\u201d are two of the prime reasons why you are carrying the load\nof your Karma<\/em>. The shastras<\/em> believe and teach us that every\nhuman being carries the load of their deeds through lives and with each\nincarnation the load either increases or decreases. It is clear that more the\ndespair in your current lifetime, the bigger the baggage of wrong deeds in the\nlast incarnation. Do you think that this true? It is a reality on all levels\nand what traps us in negative circle is our own sense of greed, ego, and anger.\nThe negative emotions can never let you serve others or think in favor of other\npeople\u2019s goodness or worth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Samadhi: How Can I Reach There?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Buddhist calls it an invincible\nway to triumph over the odds in life that stops you from being the best. Your\nbest version will be devoid of any negative connotations and will be replete\nwith positivity and conscious approach towards life. Life is unfair for\neveryone and this is why many people in this lifetime stay in the dungeon of\ntheir thoughts and fall prey to the false temptations. The art of meditation\nand attaining Samadhi<\/em> teaches you why\nletting go is the best decision ever and dwelling in the thought patterns of \u201cI\nam not good enough\u201d is detrimental for your well-being.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many Yogis compare the art of\nmeditation with Samadhi<\/em> but there is\na sea of difference between the two and somewhere down the line regular Yogic\npractices finally lets you attain the state of complete absorption or Samadhi<\/em>. Yoga Sutra, the central\nscripture of Yoga philosophy, says that when you meditate your mind focuses on\nthree facts- \u201cI am meditating\u201d, \u201cXYZ is my object of focus\u201d, and \u201cI am the one\nwho is taking on the process\u201d. Your mind constantly sways side-to-side touching\nbase with each of these facts. However, if you observe the deep facts, you\nwould realize that your mind is one and it cannot have tiny little parts that\nconcentrate on multiple little things. This is why beginners face challenges\nwhile meditating for long hours because for them focusing on only the object is\na daunting task. They constantly remind themselves that the object and the mind\nare two different things and both of these entities need my attention. Attaining\nthe final stage of Samadhi <\/em>sets you\nfree. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no one cut to reaching this final state of human mind & soul evolution. As you practice mindfulness meditation<\/strong> and become more self-aware, when your fears surface and you learn to fight them, and when you realize that nothing is true in this world but your high purpose, is the time you shall achieve this final stage of \u201cspiritual absorption\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Samadhi Teaches You & Where it Takes You<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Nothing comes easy and if it is\neasy then it is not worth it. Maharishis<\/em>\nand Yogis spent years of their life practicing meditation and finally reaching\nthe state where they now performed Samdhis<\/em>.\nIt is not a mere position wherein the person sits for long hours with his eyes\nclosed and mind focusing on his object, but a horizon where his mind, thoughts,\nand temporary beliefs melt and shine together. This is a state where a person\nfinally knows that his existence in this human body is a matter of chance and\nhis higher purpose is to serve the less fortunate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will realize the following when you reach this state:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • The step is Dharma Megha Samadhi<\/em>, which means\nultimate enlightening experiences.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Your mind\nwill focus on the object that you focus on and everything else will be out of\nthe zone. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Your soul\nshall know its higher purpose and you will visualize it while you meditate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • As you\nmature in your practice, you will understand that the journey from meditation\nto Samadhi<\/em> was just a destined path\nto your better self<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Your memory\nshall be sharper than ever and the retrieving power will be on its highest\nstate<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • You shall\nexperience Siddhis<\/em> in your initial\nphase wherein, you will come across clairvoyance or astonishing sensory\nexperiences.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    The route to gaining clarity in\nyour life through the power of meditation finally ends at Samadhi, <\/em>when you feel everything in silence and stillness. You\nwill learn that the crux of everything is gaining the attitude of Vairagya, <\/em>which means that strive for\nexcellence but do not make a fuss about it.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
