Samadhi Yoga

Yog of Knowledge and Action 

Chapter 4, Verse 26

 

śrotrādīn-indriyāṇy-anye 

saṁyamāgniṣu juhvati 

śabdādīn-viṣayān-anya 

indriyāgniṣu juhvati

 

Some offer hearing and the other senses into the fires of control. Others offer sound and the other objects of sense into the fires of their senses.

By continuous practice of meditation, one’s mind is fixed on the object and as one gets deeper and deeper into this meditation, eventually the mind will get fully absorbed into the Divine, into Brahman and one enters the state of Samadhi. In Samadhi, one reaches the mindless state, loses one’s self into the Absolute and perceives the oneness. In this state, the mind stops working and the senses automatically stop their functions of sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste; so there is no creation of any karma. When the mind is fully merged into Him, into the Absolute, one merges into God Consciousness. And that’s what is called Samadhi Yoga.
