Sabijah
Definition: With seed; with residue.
Insights: Sabijah refers to “seeded” samadhi—a deep state of meditation in which subtle impressions (seeds) still remain in the mind. While profound, it is not ultimate absorption; further practice leads to nirbija (seedless) samadhi, where even these seeds dissolve.
