Maha-Samadhi is an abbreviation for the Great Samadhi. Samadhi, according to Hindu teachings, is a state of deep focus attained by meditation. The Noble Eightfold Direction of Buddhism considers samadhi as the ultimate of the eight elements. It is the eighth and final limb of the Ashtanga Yoga tradition, as described in Yoga Sutras.
This is known as the final stage in yogic rituals, during which integration with the Divine is attained. As a result, Mahasamadhi refers to the state of final union with the Divine, which occurs typically at the moment of death. A monk who has accomplished maha samadhi has succeeded in being One with their Higher Soul.
Mahasamadhi, according to ancient scriptures, is the act of voluntarily leaving a person’s body at the time of death. According to other systems, Mahasamadhi is the condition that yogi experiences when they consciously decide to leave their body. This is only possible after they have attained God-realization, a state in which the yogi acknowledges and encounters their absolute Oneness and harmony with God.
The ultimate aim of any spiritual seeker is Mahasamadhi. While dealing with reality, the yogi is constrained by the constraints of the physical body, such as earthly attachments and wellbeing. Mahasamadhi allows you to fully transcend your body and lift your consciousness to sublime levels of Soul and God Realization.
Although the Teacher no longer maintains his physical manifestation, his energy is no longer constrained by the confines of the physical body. His energy becomes all-encompassing and limitless. The teachings continue to provide the guidance we need to lead ourselves to the light in right to survive an intense, incredible life!
You Will Never Know Equanimity if You are Stuck to Your Memory.
Since memory has been biassed – “I like this person – I don’t like that person; this is a good person – that is a poor person; this is all right – that is not all right.” Many of these judgments and biases are the product of recollection. All are branded in some way: positive and negative; likes and dislikes; rising and falling; Heaven and hell.
Equanimity is not even a possibility as long as you are associated with the bank of memories that you possess. Samadhi possesses a calm mind. This implies that you must separate your memory from your intelligence. When your intellect becomes disengaged from your memory, it struggles for a short period. After a certain amount of sadhana, you will note that everything in your memory seems to be meaningless. It’s a crazy thing to have freedom.
Everyone claims to be looking for equality, but they are secretly working for slavery. Everyone is attempting to cling to something or someone. Whether a man tries to bind himself to a woman, a woman tries to bind herself to a man, or a God, a faction, an ideology, a religion, a belief system, or now Isha. Whatever you tie yourself to, you are tying yourself to some kind of purpose.
It is a successful binding if you bind yourself to something that obliterates your memory in any way for immediate purposes. It is a strong binding, to begin with, because it provides a barrier between you and all that has gone before. That’s what brahmacharya or sannyasa means, you have separated yourself from your memory to have a calm mind.
Do Not Seek Mahasamadhi as a Means of Putting an End to Your Misery. Seeking Mahasamadhi Entails Determining How to Develop Life into a Higher Dimension.
You will never know equanimity if you are stuck to your memory. It’s like slamming on the brakes and expecting the car to stop – it won’t. It’s just going to get faster! Mahasamadhi is neither a gift nor a reward to be won. Mahasamadhi is not a solution to conclude your life because you are sick, because you have an illness, that you’re unable to do anything, or because anything has become painful. Ending one’s life is referred to as suicide; it is not referred to as Mahasamadhi.
Don’t pursue Maha samadhi as a means of putting an end to your misery. Seeking Mahasamadhi entails determining how to develop life into a higher dimension. To accept Mahasamadhi means that you have fallen so deeply in love with life that you now want to know what it is all about. You’ve lived life to the fullest, and now you’re curious about its proportions.
It would not come simply when you yearn for it. It will come simply because you are disconnected from your past – you live now as now, not as a jumble of many yesterdays. We’ve already taught you the processes and techniques you’ll need to get there. If the other requirements are met, a process consist of Shambhavi Mahamudra will get you there. You don’t require anything else.
You can delude yourself into thinking things are changing, but nothing is changing. You’re in the same position and you’re connected to the memory bank. The entire culture is talking about karma, which means you’re still carrying this bag of memories around with you, but you want to be alive. When I say, “Let’s go!” “But what about my bag?” you ask. This bag is the only thing that binds us together. There is nothing else that holds you here.
How Can I Assist You If You Don’t Do What You Can?
Because of your pain, you do not aspire to Mahasamadhi. You want to transcend to other realms of existence because you are satisfied. You’ve had your fill of it. It doesn’t matter what happened in the past. You are suffering now solely because you recall something that you believe was better.
Drop the memory bag there and get up in the morning. The sun is shiny and different, the air is fresh and exciting, it’s all-new – just enjoy it for what it is. And engage in the basic practices that you are doing with as much involvement and loyalty as possible.
However, do not attempt to abandon this life because it has become painful. If you leave with pain in your experience, it can multiply in a variety of ways. Do not subject yourself to such an ordeal. You’ve come here to reduce it, not to multiply it. If you can’t completely dissolve it, at least reduce it to the lowest possible amount.
