SAMADHI PAD-SUTRA16

                        TAT PARAM PURUSHAKHYATER GUNA VAITRUSHNYAM

IN SUPREME DISPASSION THERE IS NON ATTACHMENT TO GUNAS (WHICH ARE PART OF NATURE OR PRAKRUTI) AS ONE KNOWS THE PURUSH(SPIRIT)

    We were told that when we control the waves of thought in our mind, we have union with the prusha.The thoughts arise due to 5 different causes. The GUNAS  are part of NATURE  or PRAKRUTI,and spirit is independent observer, but it appears to be part of NATURE, when obscured by GUNAS.So when there is complete 'understanding or knowledge' of SPIRIT or PURUSHA, then there is no attachment left to even GUNAS.Whenever there is GUNA, there is going to be an effect. As we recollect , the Tamasic Guna leads to laziness or vice or inertia ,the Rajasic Guna leads to action and the Satwic to Purity.So even when we have dispassion there is still likely hood of attachment to at least Satwic Guna , if not Rajasic or Tamasic. But at this level of evolution , there is no desire to even do a good deal .
    " I do not do anything , I am just an independent observer," This the attitude of the devotee who has achieved this level.There are several levels of the SAMADHI and each level has a different cosmic  planes and at subjective level.So when we go in to higher levels , different plane are achieved.I will sumerise it in this SUTRA as starting with next one we will be talking about they will discuss the same .
      In the subjective plane, it is CHITTA or the mind and PRAKRUTI at the cosmic level, the samadhi is ASAMPRADNYAT SAMADHI. At the level of intellect it is SASMITA SAMADHI.,at the Ego level it is called  SANANAD SAMADHI and at cosmic plane it is AHANKAR.At the senses level it is NIRVICHAR SAVICHAR SAMADHI, and at the physical body level it is NIRVITARK AND SAVITARK SAMADHI.This all sounds confusing , but it is easy once we know the meaning of these words.At each level , there is some power that devotee experiences .But that will be the next one.
