Nirvikalpa Samadhi:
With this union with Universe consciousness, the soul now knows itself not through the mind, but through itself. The soul is

now beyond mind. He experiences Being Universe consciousness all the time through his intuition. This self-knowledge of
the soul is Self-realisation, which does not come and go. It is permanent. He is enlightened forever. He has at last broken
the veil of ignorance—Maya is finally defeated. There are now no limits! This state of God-consciousness/Universe
consciousness is infinite and characterised by understanding, love and happiness. He has entered Eternity! Recent Posts

In Kevala Nirvikalpa Samadhi one is not free from vasanas and does not, therefore, attain
Mukti.

Only after the samskaras have been destroyed can one attain salvation. Even though one
practices Kevala Nirvikalpa Samadhi for years together, if one has not rooted out the
vasanas, he will not attain salvation.
Kevalya can be compared to a glimpse of the Self, whereas Sahaja is a permanent and natural
state of Self-Realization.
By repeated practice one can become accustomed to turning inwards and finding the Self. One
must always and constantly make an effort, until one has permanently realized. Once the
effort ceases, the state becomes natural and the Supreme takes possession of the person with
an unbroken current. Until it has become permanently natural and your habitual state, know
that you have not realized the Self, only glimpsed it.
This is the highest consciousness. It is divinity in action and is experienced only by the Sadguru. It is preceded by Nirvana
and Nirvikalpa Samadhi. This state is beyond mind as consciousness is entirely withdrawn from physical forms, subtle
forms and the formless realms. There is no thought except the ‘I am’ consciousness. He is already in the Ultimate State of
Consciousness all the time. And yet the yogin is still working in the gross physical world at the same time. He uses the
body, emotions and mind as instruments, but there is no identification with them. Throughout his waking hours he is a
Siddha in Nirvikalpa Samadhi. He has transcended the three instruments and is totally absorbed in Universe
consciousness. He is in Nirvana and the experience of the world leaves him uninvolved. He is now God-
conscious/Universe consciousness and has no individuality. When in this state of Nirvana he is experiencing unlimited
individuality. The yogin has already realised his soul and is with Reality throughout the remainder of his life. He is able to
use his body-mind organism in the worldly activities. Externally, he is like any ordinary man, but internally, he is with the
Absolute. The thinking mind is dead and he is immersed into the Self throughout. It is now only impersonal Consciousness
that is acting out the remaining portion of his life. It is like a river discharging into the ocean and its identity is lost. He
remains in this state of bliss and happiness without effort. He only uses the working (not the thinking) mind. Out of the not
too many Siddhas, very, very few of them may descend down from the 7th plane of consciousness after achieving Sahaja
Samadhi. These very few Sadgurus become Avatars. Here they live a life of Universe consciousness and experience
God/Universe consciousness everywhere. The small and menial jobs that they perform are never too little for them.
The Sahaja Nirvikalpa [Samadhi] is permanent and in it lies liberation from rebirths.

In Kevalya, the heart (the hridayam or spiritual heart, rather than the heart chakra) opens
temporarily but in Sahaja the heart opens permanently.
When the mind drops in the temporary Kevala Nirvikalpa it opens but shuts again. In Sahaja
it remains always open.
Some vasanas remain even after Sahaja and Mukti, but these are vasanas of enjoyment rather
than of bondage. The sage having attained Sahaja enjoys these without attachment and so is
not bound by them.
The general problem the spiritual seekers face is that “all the age long vasanas (impressions)
carry the mind outwards and turn it to external objects. But he alone is ‘liberated while alive’
(jivan mukta) whose wisdom is firm.
The state in which awareness is firm and one-pointed, even when objects are sensed, is called
Sahaja sthiti or Sahaja Samadhi.
Kevalya can be compared to a glimpse of the Self, whereas Sahaja is a permanent and natural
state of Self-Realization.
