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.
