182 RAJA YOGANirvitarka Samadhi is that in which the mind shines as theobiect alone on the disappearance of memory and when the mindis, as it were, devoid of its own nature.NOTESYou have seen the different kinds of Samprajnata Samadhi.Among those gross forms of meditation, if you meditateby taking the elements out of time and space, and by thinkingon them as they are, it will become Nirvitarka Samadhi (withoutargumentation). This is a higher form of Samadhi than the previousone. Eyerything besides the complete idea of the objectis forgotten in this Samadhi. The mind is not conscious ofname, form, meaning or relation of the object. lt is absorbed inone idea. The faculty of memory is suppressed here as it bringsassociation of name, form, meaning, relation, etc. ln ordinarypersons, it is difficult to separate the sound, meaning and theknowledge, as they occur with great rapidity. A Yogi who practisesNirvitarka Samadhiwill be able to distinguish clearly onefrom the other. The state described in this Sutra is perfectNirvitarka Samadhi. The mind of the Yogi becomes very verysubtle on account of various practices in concentration and thedevelopment of qualities like Maitri, Karuna and Mudita. Thedisturbing Rajas and Tamas have been wiped out.(3) Nirvichara and Subtle Objectsqnt{ qFrqm frffi'qrfi q qwBsqr arcqrflT I r-44qflfi by this, ga also, qfuqm with deliberation, ftfrfgnrwithoutdeliberation, ? and, (QrT subtle, frqqt for objects, alTqtfillare explained.By this (process) meditation with deliberation and withoutdeliberation with their objects as subtle, are also explained.NOTESJust as the two kinds of argumentative concentration referto the gross elements, so the two kinds of concentration with

The other principles, Mahat, Ahamkara,Manas, Tanmatras and the gross elements are derived fromthis. Hence it has got this significant name. Vedantins call this'Avyaktam' (u n man ifested),'Avyakritam' (u nd ifferentiated), becausethe matter and energy are one here. They are not differentiated.All kinds of sounds also exist here in anu nd ifferentiated state. Hence the sig n ifi cant name' u nd ifferentiated.'Allthe products or Vikritis are dissolved at the end ofPralaya in the chief Pradhana. When the three Gunas are in astate of equilibrium in Pralaya, the name Prakriti is given. Thisis the Gunasamya Avastha. When the equilibrium is disturbedduring Srishti, the state of Vaishamya Avastha begins. Thenthis motion of Jivas is set up through the influence of Sattva,Rajas and Tamas. One who has mastered the four stages ofconcentration described above, gets mastery over Pradhana.Purusha, which is more subtle than Pradhana, is abovePradhana. He is only the instrumental cause for this world(Nimitta Karana). Mula Prakritiis Upadhana Karana or materialcause for this world. Pradhana is also known by the name'Alinga.'This means without mark. The Sukshma state of grosselemLnts is Tanmatras. Mahat is more subtle th'an theTanmatras. Mahat is individual BuddhiTattua. lt is also knownby the name 'Linga.' Pradhana is more subtle than the Mahat.
