in the abrahamic tradition ideas that you get your salvation when you can end up in the in
the realm of god and you live with god ever and ever forever and ever it's all fun fun and
happiness and all that and we just talked about happiness it's kind of quite a bit of flattening
out so even in heaven you go flat you go bored what do i do with dancing spinner board up so
all come with limitation now samadhi is very important thing because this is if you like the
the crux the culmination of the process of raj yoga trying to kind of succeed in serious made not
artificial serious meditation majority of meditation classes you kind of talk about
or hear about are superficial that yes nonsense just promote kind of some kind of nonsense saying
oh you are now levitating and this and don't listen to all that serious serious meditation
only happens with a few great enlightened personalities check them out check their
lives and you'll see what samadhi means i'll give you same three names because i love them ramana
maharshi ramakrishna vivacana they used to go to samadhi like that so what happens when you hit
samadhi samadhi is not living in eternal bliss a pleasure or pleasure samadhi something different
when you recognize your true identity notice the body the mind the intellect of the ego you
rise above it don't spit it out just rise about it because they appear like fluff they fall down then
you enter a state which is so unusual there are no words that can use to define that particular state
but this is the state where you can in a way become one with your true nature yoga yuja join
up with your true nature the closest you can get to anybody is your own self and that's what yoga
is all about so you become one pointed and become one you know recognize your true identity as what
it is rather than what it appears to be and that is called samadhi that's the end of the end of
delusion where you hit the jackpot now now this happens only in the few cases and i'll give you
some examples of how this thing kind of turns into interesting features now this raman marsha recent
recent personalities you can check out his live story you can just get his picture even get his
videos remember she lived until about 1950 used to go into somebody like that instantaneously without
any practice without the word hearing the word raj yoga he was such as interesting personality
spontaneously could go into samadhi from a very young age from the age of i think about 17.
now i'll tell you what happens when you go in samadhi real samadhi so he then decided
to walk out of his house because he couldn't relate to this kind of worldly life anymore
and he somehow had attraction to arunachal mountain in south india so he walked towards
the ground he first trained journey then walked and there he found the temple at horizontal temple
he went in the basement where they keep you know normally animals or elephants sometimes go there
it's very dirty it's very unhygienic he sat in the corner there and went into meditation samadhi boom
i'll tell you what happens then insects you know maggots that kind of living this kind of filthy
environment were kind of eating into his body eating into his body do you think he feels
anything he's realize he's the spirit he's not the body the mind the intellect the ego
so even he doesn't wow he's hurting the body is no longer his he is established in samadhi where you
can cut into thousand pieces he will not flinch because his now knows he's the spirit not the
body though he is discarded the idea is the body this is the true state of samadhi so when you
look at some of these personalities who actually enter samadhi then you can get a glimpse of what
is going on here they really reason about this kind of limited vision we have regarding who we
truly are and when you see personality that ramana maharishi or ramakrishna when he goes into samadhi
winston if the ram kashmir was a real nuisance you can't talk to him about spirituality or god
or religion because moment you start talking he goes you know samadhi he disappears you can't talk
to you can interact interconnect with him you have great difficulty hanging on to the ego in the body
you have to keep flying off so same with viva khanna when vietnam used to give lectures in
america sometimes after a wonderful grand lecture he would go and sit in a tram those
days san francisco that runs you sit on the drum and go into deep meditation boom disappear
the trump will go to the destination go back come back and he's still sitting
and the drum driver or the conductor will come and say get off now what's going on you know you know
somehow get him to wake up it's not easy to wake these guys up either because they can't feel the
body whether they've got a little bit of tinkling or link with the body then they'll jump up it's
okay i know so this is the real people who have who can talk about and whose real life examples
is the one that likes inspire all of us to think about samadhi in his true sense so we are really
going on love these personalities free e-learning course in hinduism to register please visit
