Samadhi

Guruji Krishnananda – on Samadhi

A meditator asked me, “During Meditation, there was blankness at first, followed by a burst of energies entering me from all sides. I felt expanded. Is this Samadhi?”

My answer:

This is the beginning of Samadhi, not the total Samadhi. Even total Samadhi is the beginning of our Spiritual journey.

Samadhi is beginning of our Spiritual jurney

After the beginning of Samadhi, the blankness or unconsciousness disappears followed by the experience of vastness. Your awareness blossoms and becomes very clear. Gradually, you will be aware of everything simultaneously.

These are very important stages in Samadhi. These states can only be experienced and cannot be described. Even then, we try to explain them to give you an idea of the possibilities.

After your awareness expands, you become aware of the Presence. The Presence is God Himself. You will feel the Presence in the form of Unconditional Love and Peace enveloping you.

You will know by experience that the Presence is infinite, undivided; you will then experience the ultimate Oneness with the entire Creation.

Even this experience is not the end. There is much more.

This knowledge is from the Light Masters who have gone beyond all these experiences. Even after such extraordinary experiences, some of them choose to come to this earth to help and guide us.

They come to our chaotic world to assure us that there is God, there is Love, and there is hope of peace in this world.

Think about these things. Make efforts. Do not worry about the time. Do not hurry. Just contemplating on these realities itself will bring you Spiritual benefits.
