Samadhi (Sama+Adhisthan) is the perfection and excellence in the energy of equanimity. It is the ultimate understanding in a human being who has been completely released free from the humbug of seeking & becoming which is constantly happening in the separative consciousness of the body.

Samadhi is not the contrived coma induced through all kinds of self-hypnotic tricks as also through narcotics by a racketeer of the spiritual market. The harangue of hoax, hypocrisy and hallucination that is vomitted out by a charlatan after he comes out of the coma, is listened to by the 'spiritual aspirants' around him with 'devotion'. And these aspirants in great confusion, believe and imagine that a profound exposition of an enormous 'spiritual truth' has taken place !

In Samadhi, stimulus and response in the consciousness become one unitary movement as the separative process normally existing therein (which is so necessary and useful in the technical world) remains at rest. (Remember Jesus : ''It is a movement and rest'' !) 

Samadhi is life as also death, as these are not two. Both life and death are inexorably united in Samadhi. It is not a decision in fatigue or in despair. It is not the outcome of an unconscious wish for Samadhi. It is something that defies time-space description. This Samadhi is the very essence of life and it is there even when the body is performing some daily tasks assigned to it.

Samadhi is not something conjured up by the separative consciousness for its comfort and ideational security. There are ''Swamis'' and ''Hamsa''s who consume delicious sweets inspite of high diabetes and run into ‘Samadhi’ ! And there are other ''enlightened'' ones who smoke ''chhelam'' to be in ‘Samadhi’ ! Samadhi happens with an extraordinary intensity and with a finality. There is no substitute for it. It occurs, not because of kriyas, but inspite  of kriyas ! There is nothing that you (mind) do or don’t do to summon it. Samadhi is fully autonomous. It is not under anybody's call or command. There is no creation if Samadhi does not sweep away all the things that the separative consciousness has put together to safeguard its self-centred existence. Samadhi is not a mask covering up, hiding some reality.

Samadhi is essential, not what's in the Samadhi. There is seeing only from Samadhi. All virtue, not social morality and respectibility, springs from it. It's out of Samadhi love comes, otherwise it is not love. Foundation of righteousness is in Samadhi. It is the silence without any seed of separative consciousness. It is the ending of all endings. It's the end and beginning of all things.

Samadhi cannot repeat itself ! Only the memory and its function of recollection can repeat what had been. Memory of Samadhi is not Samadhi. Memory is the ''me''. Only plastic flowers can be repeated and manufactured. Real ones are fresh and vulnerable.

Thought, do what it will, cannot bring about Samadhi. Thought, through being aware of itself without any interference from the ''thinker'', must quiet down of its own accord without the promise of any reward or of security. Thought,  understanding its own activites, hidden and open, blasts into no-thought. This is Samadhi, Intelligence, Krishna. Not the Krishna of ''Hare Krishna'' sect ! Without Intelligence, Krishna is only self-deception, self-hypnosis, which has no significance whatsoever.

There is no interval between now and Samadhi ; there is never ''in the meantime' with many mental undertakings. Samadhi is a state when all choice has ceased. In Samadhi there is no direction, but still there's a direction which is not a direction of choice ! Transcending of conflict in all its complex varieties, is Samadhi. Samadhi is explosive, not reasoned, nor calculated. Action from Samadhi is not an approximation or comparison. Non-conflict at every level of human affairs, is the essence of Samadhi.
