THE HIGHEST STAGE

Posted by Teachings of Swami Sivananda on October 15, 2012 at 7:00pm

When the five organs of knowledge, together with the mind, are at rest, and when the intellect ceases to function and becomes still and calm – that is the highest state.
When all the thoughts in the mind subside, when the mind is neither awake nor asleep, when it is motionless like the calm surface of a lake, then the highest Brahmic state of Samadhi is attained.
The Jivanmukta attains destruction of the mind, which leaves behind a slight trace of the ego, but to the Videhamukta there is complete destruction of the ego, sleep and all sins.

From "Daily Sayings" by Swami Sivananda (1987-1963). More Informations on Swami Sivananda: on the Website of Divine Life Society, Photographs of Swami Sivananda, German Pages on Swami Sivananda
