Comment to 'Edge of Objectivity'
  • This is an important post. It is repeated here because it is an alert. Suppose you are transporting a bomb which has a sensitive detonator. Of course you would be a fool to drop it. But what would be the fault, if a senior officer told you twice that it is to be transported with great care?

     

    We have to surmise that whatever effort we invest, that will pay off ultimately but not necessarily at the moment or when desired. It is hard to estimate when this self or any other will be liberated. Still the endeavor should be made.

    Those of us who do meditation carelessly and even those who oversimplify the process, should take care to realize that nirvikalpa samadhi or aimless motivation-less observation-less absorption of higher states of consciousness may not result in liberation but may cause one to circle back into being a baby.

    In that condition who can say that one will maintain the self-realization format as did other great yogis. So, what is it?

    Is it into nirvikalpa mahasamadhi and then nothing?

    Or is it nirvikalpa mahasamadhi and then something sublime?

    Or will be nirvikalpa mahasamadhi and then beginning all over again with no identity but with the parents calling one as Kirpal or Kirpalani?
