Samadhi

Samprajñāta samādhi (cognitive samādhi) is accompanied by reasoning, reflection, bliss, and I-am-ness.

The other (asamprajñāta samādhi) is preceded by practice of cessation, in which only latent impressions remain.

When the mind's modifications are weakened, it becomes like a clear crystal, reflecting the qualities of the knower, the knowing, or the known; this is samāpatti (engrossment).

Savitarkā samāpatti is absorption in which word, meaning, and knowledge are intermixed.

Nirvitarkā samāpatti arises when memory is purified and only the object shines forth, as if the mind is absent.

By this, savicārā and nirvicārā samāpatti, and even subtler states, are explained.

The domain of subtle objects extends up to the unmanifest (Prakṛti).

These are samādhi with seed (sabīja samādhi).

Upon attaining proficiency in nirvicārā samāpatti, clarity of the inner Self arises.

In that state, wisdom is truth-bearing (ṛtaṁbharā).

This wisdom differs from that gained by hearing or inference, because its object is unique.

The latent impression born of this wisdom obstructs other latent impressions.

When even this is stilled, by the cessation of all, seedless samādhi (nirbīja samādhi) is attained.

For that person, wisdom (prajñā) unfolds in seven stages, leading to the final ground.

Samādhi is when that same meditation shines forth as the object alone, as if devoid of its own form.

Even these are external compared to seedless samādhi (nirbīja samādhi).
