Samadhi (Total Absorption)

 Samadhi (Total Absorption) – Merging with the Infinite

There are two main types of Samadhi:
A. Savikalpa Samadhi (With Form & Duality)
    Awareness remains, but the ego is still present.
    One experiences bliss, divine visions, or a deep sense of unity.
    This is an entry-level Samadhi, where effort is still required.

B. Nirvikalpa Samadhi (Beyond Mind & Form)
    The mind completely dissolves into the Infinite.
    No thoughts, no sense of self—only pure consciousness.
    This is permanent liberation (Moksha) if maintained.
 

Jivan Mukti (Liberation while alive): The realized being lives in the world but is untouched by it.
 

Videha Mukti (Liberation after death): The final dissolution into Brahman, no rebirth.
The liberated one is free from karma, desires, and suffering.
 

So-Hum is a powerful and natural mantra that means "I am That" , referring to the universal consciousness. It is linked with the breath and helps in achieving deep meditation, inner stillness, and eventually Savikalpa Samadhi.

Synchronize the Mantra with Breath
    As you inhale, mentally hear or say “So” (pronounced as "Sohhh").
    As you exhale, mentally hear or say “Hum” (pronounced as "Hummm").
    Do not force the breath—let it remain natural and effortless.

"Aham Brahmasmi" (अहम् ब्रह्मास्मि)

"Tat Tvam Asi" (तत् त्वम् असि)

"Brahma Satyam, Jagat Mithya" (ब्रह्म सत्यं जगन्मिथ्या)

"Na Me Dvesha Rāgau" (न मे द्वेष रागौ) "na me lobha mohau" (न मे लोभा मोहः)

 "Atma Nityo Niranandaḥ" (आत्मा नित्यो निरानन्दः)

Mukthi is not after death—it is a state of mind. One who is free from desires, ego, and attachments is already liberated while living (Jivan Muktha).
 

Gita Verse: “One who sees inaction in action and action in inaction is truly wise.” (4.18)

Realization: "I Am That" (Tat Tvam Asi) - When you fully realize that you are not the body, not the mind, but pure consciousness, Jivan Mukti happens effortlessly. There is no fear, no suffering, only infinite peace and bliss. Even while living in the world, you are free—nothing binds you anymore.

 

1. Realization: "I Am That" (Tat Tvam Asi)
2. When you fully realize that you are not the body, not the mind, but pure consciousness, Jivan Mukti happens effortlessly.
3. There is no fear, no suffering, only infinite peace and bliss. Even while living in the world, you are free—nothing binds you anymore.
4. Abide in Inner Silence (Mouna and Meditation) - Silence the mental chatter and rest in the peace of pure awareness.
5. The more you rest in silence, the closer you come to Jivan Mukti.
6. Dissolve the Ego (Ahamkara-Nasha) - Recognize that the ego is an illusion—it is not your true self. Avoid pride, possessiveness, and the idea that "I am separate from others." Experience oneness with everything.
7. Live with Compassion and Selfless Service (Karma Yoga) - Realize that "I am not the doer", the Divine is acting through you.
8. Practice Equanimity (Samabhava) - Accept joy and sorrow with the same attitude. See all beings as equal and divine. Stay centered, whether praised or criticized, whether in comfort or hardship.
9. Master the Mind (Manonasha – Dissolution of the Mind) - Train the mind to stay in the present moment.
10. Detachment (Vairagya) - Understand that all things are impermanent and true joy comes from within. Live in the world but remain unaffected by its ups and downs (like a lotus in water).
11. Surrender to the Higher Reality (Ishwara Pranidhana) - Cultivate total acceptance of life’s happenings as divine will.
12. Develop humility and devotion, knowing that the individual ego is an illusion.
13. Self-Inquiry (Atma Vichara) - Follow Ramana Maharshi’s method of self-inquiry: Ask yourself, "Who am I?" Realize that you are not the body, mind, or emotions, but the eternal consciousness (Atman). 
14. Drop attachment to false identities (name, role, ego).
