Samadhi, give up all your desires and turn your mind towards the Àtmà. When you do this, you will find that the entire body takes a different turn. The different kinds of energies will all come under your control. The state of mind, which goes with japa has been described as the state of samadhi. Japa means continual repetition of the name of the Lord in ones mind. You should understand that only when one is in his natural condition and yet enjoys the bliss of samadhi, then alone is he said to be in a state of samadhi.

Japa means continual repetition of the name of the Lord in ones mind. You should understand that only when one is in his natural condition and yet enjoys the bliss of samadhi, then alone is he said to be in a state of samadhi. Anything else can never to be equated with samadhi. The meaning attached to the word comes from the word itself. 'Sama' means equal and 'dhi' means buddhi or mind. When you have developed equal mindedness, you are in a true state of samadhi. It is quite possible for you to develop this state even in ordinary life. When mind is turned inwards, it looks only at Àtmà and does not look at the external surroundings. when your mind is turned inwards, you will not notice the difference between sorrow and happiness or between heat and cold. The mind of such a person is always engrossed with what may be called 'Àtma Drishti'. We eat so many greasy things. This grease may get on hand but it never remains on the tongue. The tongue is untouched by the grease. The Lotus flower lives in water and depends on water for its existence but the water does not affect the lotus. Do not be in haste. Do not lose your patience. Do not have a wavering mind. Remember that you should have an unwavering mind, if you want to attain the state of samadhi. If you plant a sapling now, how can you get the fruit immediately, the plant must become a tree and then you can get its fruit. we should not be in a hurry and that we should remain peaceful and calm. ~ Love, Light & Peace ~ Boom Shankar!
