TRAYAM ANTARANGAM PURVEBHYAH --6
(THESE) THREE ARE INTERNAL WITH REFERENCE TO PREVIOUS ONE
TADAPI BAHIRANGAM NIRBIJASYA--7
EVEN THESE THREE ARE EXTERNAL FOR SEEDLESS (SAMADHI)
These Sutras are related to the previous one. In the last one we were told that the the deeper levels of the Samadhi will lead to some powers and Saiyam should be used to get at higher levels of the Samadhi rather than ENJOYING the powers that are achieved with the concentration.
So now in these two Sutras we are told that the three things that were mentioned for the perfection of the SAIYAM are concentration , meditation and the SAMADHI - are INTERNAL compared to the other 5 of the ASHTANG YOGA, namely the YAMA,NIYAMA,ASANA, PRANAYAM, AND PRATYAHAR. As one can see the first five are external or behavioural changes and the last three are the internal . So in the Sutra 6 we are told that the concentration, meditation and the Samadhi or the superficial state of the Samadhi -are internal. but then in the Sutra 7 we are told that the even these three things which are internal become external and not part of the Samadhi which is SEEDLESS.
There are various levels of the Samadhi .
The early stages of the Samadhi is at gross level and is SAVITARK AND NIRVITARK.
The next level is SAVICHAR AND THE NIRVICHAR which is at the level of subtle elements and senses.
The next level is SANAND and is related to the AHANKAR or EGO.
The next one is ASMITA which is at the level of CHITTA which is source of the EGO.
The next one is ASAMPRADNYAT where the CHITTA is withdrawn .
These will be described in detail in future . But as one can see once the CHITTA is withdrawn ,there is no SEED or element that we need and so then the initial levels of the SAMADHI become External-outside the highest level of the SAMADHI and not needed and has no BIJ or the seed. At this level one is not concentrating on ANYTHING OR SEED .
