To be a samadhi hero one has to be in the world and not be of it, like the lotus leaf which floats on water but is never soaked by the water under it or by the water which rains down on it from the sky. A lotus leaf has a special organic cell coating which is impervious to water and which makes water curl away from it into rapidly sliding bubbles.
To be a samadhi hero one has to hear a noise during meditation and not respond to it in the least. One such noise is the battery operated clock. Another is the hum of a refrigerator compression which kicked on some 5 minutes after the meditation begun. Another such noise was the ringing tone of a cell phone.
Because I am a meditation hero, one with medals and honors, these things do not affect my practice. I am one with God so these things are of no consequence to me.
=================
However my friend is disturbed by these things. He is still the little ego who has identity, who is an individual created by illusion. How can I help him to become God the way I achieved?
Maybe I should get up and disable the battery operated clock. Maybe I should disable the ringer of the cell phone. Maybe I should unplug the refrigerator.
What do you think?
Poor guy, my friend, he is still that creation of illusion, that ego, a mere nothing.
What do you think?
Do you feel that he can transcend the disturbances without my having to turn them off?
Why does it bother him in the first place? After all he is God so he should not, at least theoretically, be affected. He is not his material body. He should be able to close down his hearing sense, become totally detached from it.
He has to realize that it is not his hearing sense.
Who is he anyway?
A shadow ego or God?
If he is the ego in fact, then the reality is that he will have to be subjected to trauma no matter what.
If he is God in fact, then the reality is that no trauma can touch him.
This is a question of what he really is.
It does not make sense that God has become this helpless ego.
And it is also senseless that this helpless ego will become God.
It is a terrible contradiction!

Make a somber assessment of my egotist friend/God or,
Find the shangri-la cave, and of course even then...
