achieved by the concentration and meditation on the formal unity of the "objects".<br />

But these steps must be overcome if we are to pe<strong>net</strong>rate the essence of things. This is how<br />

the yogi meditation begins Savic ( "reflexive"), the thought does not stop and the<br />

appearance of material objects is (objects composed of aggregates of atoms, particle<br />

physics, etc.). On the contrary, direct knowledge of those cores thought infinite-Simale<br />

ENERGY treaties call Tanmatra Samkhya and Yoga. It pat me on the aspect "subtle"<br />

(suksma) dQ matter; is pe<strong>net</strong>rated, says Vijnana Bhiksu until ahamkara and prakriti, but<br />

this meditation is also accompanied by the consciousness of Time and Space (not of the<br />

"experience" of a given space of a given period, but the conscience of the categories<br />

time-space). When thought is "identify" with Tanmatra without experiencing the<br />

"feeling" that by their energetic nature. produce these Tanmatra, ie when the yogi to<br />

assimilate "in perfect shape, without this resulting from a feeling of pain, pleasure or<br />

violence, or inertia, and so on., and without being conscious of Time and Space obtained<br />

nirvicara status. The think-ing then merges with those infinitesimal energy nuclei which<br />

form the true foundation of psycho-fi universe. Is this a real immersion in the essence of<br />

world-do physically, and not only qualified and individual phenomena-ized (Vyasa and<br />

Misra Vacaspati discuss these stages in their com-ments on Yoga-Sutra, I, 44, 45) .<br />

These four stages of samadhi Samprajnata bijasamadhi are called (samadhi with seed) or<br />

salambana samadhi (with "medium"), then, explains Vijnana Bhiksu, they are in relation<br />

to a "substrate" (support) and create trends that are as "seeds" for future functions of<br />

consciousness (see also Bhoja, ad YS, I, 17). In contrast, asamprajnata samadhi is nirbija<br />

"seeded" because absolute knowledge discovers the ontological ple-tude, where being<br />

and knowing are not severed and-two. Fixed in samadhi, consciousness (citta) can now<br />

have the immediate revelation of the Self (vuruso). For the mere fact that this awareness<br />

is carried out, abolished the pain of existence (Vijnana Bhiksu, Yoga-sara-Samgraha, p.<br />

5).<br />

Also in this section of the enstasy-so difficult to define-known two other varieties of<br />

contemplation: 1) anandanugata (when, abandoning all perception, even the realities of<br />

"subtle", experienced the joy of eternal brightness and sattva self-consciousness), and 2?)<br />

asmitanugata (which is reached when the intellect, Buddhi, completely isolated from the<br />

outside world, but that does not reflect the self). Vijnana Bhiksu (op. cit, p. 12) explains<br />

the name of this last contemplation with the fact that the Yogi attains his own ego and<br />

includes: "I am (ASMI) other than my body." It also called dharma-megha-samadhi, the<br />

"cloud of dharma" (YS, IV, 29), traduction difficult technical terms, because Dharma can<br />

be a lot of meanings (order, virtue, justice, foundation, etc.. ), but that seems to refer to an<br />

abundance (rain) of virtues that fills the yogi immediately. This simultaneously<br />

experience a sense of sa-turing and breaking over the world, a feeling of "jbasta ya!" with<br />

respect to all knowledge and consciousness, and this total renunciation leads to<br />

asamprajnatasamadhi, the enstasy undifferentiated. For mystical yogis, is at this stage that<br />

intervenes the revelation of God (Isvara) as expressed Vijnana Bhiksu (op. cit, p. 13),<br />

using a traditional image (per-banks within the smrti, when the twenty-fifth principle-that<br />

is the purusha, the Self-realize their heterogeneity with respect to the other twenty-four<br />

principles (which depend on prakriti), is how we perceive, not the twenty-sixth principle,<br />

which is the Supreme Self, God. After the contemplation of his own ego-goal of the<br />

advocates of Samkhya-comes the contemplation of God. But as I have-we have noted,<br />

Vijnana Yoga Bhiksu interprets in light of the mystic staff. We shall see what are the
