Attention leads to concentration
Concentration leads to meditation
Meditation leads to samadhi
Concentration is the process of holding or fixing the attention of the mind onto one object or place
Meditation is the sustained concentration, whereby the attention continues to hold or repeat the same object or place
Samadhi is the deep absorption, wherein only the essence of that object, place, or point shines forth in the mind
When one enters a deep enough absorption with any object or place, they are one
Then observer and observed are one
Non-dual
One reality
One awareness
Samadhi
Any object or place is a doorway into the infinite
Samadhi is not mythical or beyond the attainment of anyone
It’s a regular occurrence in meditation
It’s briefs at first, but as one begins to touch samadhi more and more they begin to merge with the unity of Being
A meditation object can be can anything, from a candle, to the opening of the nostrils, to the devotion to a beloved child or partner.
To be fully involved, in complete absorption with life, is liberation
To be wholly involved in life is to lose one’s small self to great Self
It’s not a goal or an attainment
It’s an inevitability
Just as each moment of your life is inevitable
Samadhi is waiting for you to surrender and let go
It is to die before you die
When we learn to wholly accept this moment, we live fully
When we learn to be present, in pain or in pleasure equally
We become equanimous in mind
We become equanimous in mind by transcending the world outside
When the situation outside ourselves does not determine our own internal state, we take responsibility for ourselves.
When we take absolute responsibility that our experience of life is 100% our own doing, we take control of our life.
When we become conscious and present in each moment, free from compulsion and karma, we can become liberated
When we choose to be joyful in all situations, we experience true freedom
Meditation and the yogic sciences are a repository of tools for cultivated internal well-being
Tuning into our bodies and our breath, is a way of internally resources ourselves
When we learn to turn within, we realize there is nothing outside of ourselves to seek
All the joy, love, equanimity and peace we have ever experiences has been experienced within
That joy lies dormant
That love still burns brought
The equanimity persists
And that peace is always a place within
Waiting for you to come back to yourself and see you are one with all that is, whole, healed, and holy
Namaste
