Mind in the saturated state

As expressed in the previous articles we have discussed in the various stage of Samadhi. With those practices, the fickleness of the mind vanishes, and wherever a sadhak utilizes such a mind, it remains stable and obedient towards a set goal. Refined and pure consciousness can direct the flow pran (vitality) in the desired direction. By regulating and controlling pran, it is possible to get the desired rejuvenating work done in any part of the body. It is even possible to influence another person and the environment with this vital electricity. It is also possible to suck the vital power from outside into one's own body once the control of pran is established.

Once Nirvichar Samadhi is perfected, the inner self becomes calm, pure and enlightened. Under such a state, sadhak experiences an indescribable bliss. This state is called Aanandanugat Samadhi. When the desires for objects of senses completely vanish and merely self-experience remains, it is called Asmitanugat Samadhi. There are higher states of Nirvichar Samadhi - which are also classified as Sampragyat Samadhi. This state is also called awakening of Ritambhara Pragya. Eternal truth automatically manifestes in such an enlightened soul.

Under the state of manifestation of Pragya, the entire being of the Sadhak is enlightened. In that supernatural divine light, the separate existence of sadhak too disappears. At that time it is felt that the one who knows is altogether different from what is to be known. The object - for which so much of extraordinary effort was made - is nothing but one's own soul. This unification of the self and the Ultimate - Supreme Being - has been called Asampragyat Samadhi. Once the mind vanishes in the enlightened being, the mundane bonds too vanish. A true blissful form of the Self is seen. This experience is indescribable.

Thus, taking recourse to the two steps of vairagya and abhyas of yogsadhana, every sadhak can march forward in the direction of integral rejuvenation. What should be the basis for contemplation for a person of specific mentality to achieve vairagya? How should an abhyas be initiated? Everyone can not take such a decision. If the patient prescribes a medicine for himself, he will have to face more problems. In fact, he needs the guidance of an expert physician. It is true that the sadhak has to travel in his own, towards the set goal; but without the proper guidance of a guide; there are ample chances of going astray. Therefore, every aspiring sadhak moving ahead on the path of integral rejuvenation should seek the protection and guidance of an adept guide.
