Samadhi "With support"<br />

More than a "knowledge", samadhi is a "state", a form of Yoga ENSTAT specified. We<br />

will see then that this "state" enables the I autorrevelaci6n (purusha), through an act that<br />

is not part of an "experience". But not just any samadhi reveals the self, nor any "stasis"<br />

final liberation becomes real. Patanjali and his commentators go-tion distinguish species<br />

or stages of supreme concentration. When samadhi is achieved with the help of an object<br />

or an idea (ie, setting the thinking at a point in space or an idea), the stasis Samprajnata<br />

called samadhi (enstasy "supported" or "differentiated"). When, however, samadhi is<br />

obtained outside of any "relation" (either outside or menial order), ie when you get a<br />

"conjunction" in which no in-terviene any "otherness", but is sion simply a deep<br />

understanding of self, is the asamprajnatasamadhi ( "stasis" no differ-ences ") that done.<br />

Vijnana Bhiksu (Yoga-sara-Samgraha, p. 4) notes that the Samprajnata Samadhi is a<br />

medium of free - cion to the extent that it allows the understanding of truth and put an<br />

end to all kinds of suffering. asamprajnata But samadhi destroys the "impressions<br />

(saṁskāra) of all history mental functions" and get up to stop the forces already karmicas<br />

highlighted by the previous activity of the yogi. During the "stasis differentiated,<br />

continuous Vijnana Bhiksu, all mental functions are" detained "(" inhibited ") with the<br />

exception of the function that" meditating on the object ", while the asamprajnata<br />

samddhi away any "consciousness": the set of mental functions is blocked. "During this<br />

stasis, there is no other trace of the mind (citta) outside impressions (samskara) left-das<br />

ago (by its past performance) . If these perceptions do not exist, there would be no<br />

possibility of return to consciousness. "<br />

We are therefore in the presence of two kinds of "states" or diferentesr the first series is<br />

acquired through Yogic technique of concentration (Dharana) and meditation (dhyana):<br />

The second class includes in fact only one " state ", namely the in-stasis unprovoked, the"<br />

abduction ". No doubt even this assem-Prajnatara samadhi is always due to the prolonged<br />

efforts of the yogi. It is a gift, not a state of grace. We can not reach it without first<br />

adequately tested in samadhi species contained in the first class. It is the culmination of<br />

Innu merables "concentrations" and "meditations" that preceded it. But without the call<br />

arrives without provoke him, without expressly prepare ourselves: that's why it can be<br />

called: a "rapture".<br />

Clearly, differentiated,<br />

involves several stages: this is because this is perfectible and not calling a "state" absolute<br />

and irreducible. Generally refers to four stages or species "arguments" (Savitar-ka), "nonargumentative"<br />

(nirvitarka), "reflective" (Savica), "adrenal-inflected" (nirvicara; YS I,<br />

42-44). Patanjali also knows another terminology: vitarka, Vicāra, ananda, asmita (YSI,<br />
