Unconditional nirvikalpa samadhi (Hinduism, Yoga)
- Bhava samadhi
- Sahaj samadhi
- Seventh stage
Description
There is identification with the transcendent, radiant being in which all phenomena are seen as temporary, non-binding modifications of this all-inclusive divine being. The divine self is realized beyond the view point of the physical body, the mind or psyche, and the independent personal consciousness. When phenomena arise to notice from this formless and unqualified presence or love-bliss there is ecstasy of perfect spontaneity in sahaj samadhi. If no phenomena arise, then there is unconditional nirvikalpa samadhi or bhava samadhi. Although this stage has been entered by adepts of a number of spiritual traditions, they are few in number and even fewer have taught from the viewpoint of this stage.
Context
The last of seven stages of life characterized by Master Da Love Ananda (formerly Da Free John); it is the foundation and aim of the yoga of progressive incarnation when both perception and conception of psycho-physical existence are dissolved in divine translation.
