Superconscious state, profound meditation, trance, rapturous absorption, ( sam, together + a, to + dhi, placing, putting together). A practice or Yoga in which the seeker (sadhaka) becomes one with the object of his meditation (sadhya), thus attaining unqualified bliss. Samadhi is of five types: savikalpa, visualizing a sense object (usually an ideal or a god) in the dualistic sphere; nirvikalpa, beyond all doubts, names and forms; nissankalpa, all desires cease coming up in the form of ‘sankalpa’, nirvrittik, even involuntary mentations (vrittis) cease; nirvasana, even the instinctive upsurge of ‘vasanas’ is stilled.
