 is a negative description. An individual reaches a state of isness, that is he does exist and then he comes to the condition of zero, absolute negation, where there is no change at all possible in his nature, even though he is swimming in Infinity. Now that condition is said to be the state of realisation. Now, he compares this state with the Nirvikalpaka Samadhi of the Yogins. The Raja Yoga works actually use the words "Samprajnatha" and "Asamprajnatha" Samadhi. It does not use the word "Nirvikalpaka or Savikalpaka Samadhi". This language came from Advaitins. This Nirvikalpaka Samadhi, which has been preached by Advaita saints or teachers is a condition when we do not have a distinction between God and self. In fact, there is neither God nor self. There is neither object nor subject nor even the knowledge in between nor experience even. Now, that is said to be a very high attainment in that system. But that is not the goal of our system. Our system wants to develop the experience of God in a natural way or Sahaja Samadhi, not getting to That Condition when you are disengaged from your bodily consciousness or even the soul consciousness completely. On the contrary this is where we do work in this world and go on doing all works living in that contact with the Ultimate Reality all the time. Now, Sahaja Samadhi means attachment with Reality all the time, without interruption even when we are doing any work; not only when we are in Dhyana as in the case of Nirvikalpaka Samadhi or even Savikalpaka Samadhi or Samprajnatha or Asamprajnatha Samadhi. This Sahajavastha is sought to be established in everyone of our Abhyasis, so that he will be doing his duties detached from the fruits of duties; but attached all the time to the Reality which pours itself down into him and supports him by its changeless condition. So, this kind of establishment in that Consciousness which you may call a kind of establishment in that Consciousness which you may call a kind of "Stitha Prajnatha" is normal to us and is something to be attained by everyone of us, which means that we are not trying to get out of this world.
The world is not something to be 'shunned'; what we would renounce of it is our attachment to it. That is, we think that we cannot exist without the object, without the body, without food or without the property given to us. Then, we are caught up in it. In other words let me tell how the thoughts flash to my consciousness. I was asking myself how we built up all these securities about us. Everybody wants to have a house and then he wants to
