Samadhi

The state of deep sleep ,waking and dream are the stages of ego, the self is witness of all.the self transcends them all ,the .the consciousness should be found .——Maharishi Ramana.

Comment; just take it very simply, because when we start to describe very important thing we start to put our ideas, logic, our memory than we change the shape of a meaningful thing. we have three stages according to Vedanta or our experience now in waking and dream.mind works there but in deep sleep, it dissolves in the self that we forget our body-mind now it is the experience of happines, but in deep sleep, ego has not removed this is the teaching of Maharishi Ramana. but if we can dissolve mind in waking state than it is called Samadhi. in deep sleep and in Samadhi there is one thing and that is an absence of thoughts. in deep sleep, our ego is yet there but it is hidden. but in nirvikalpa Samadhi there is also an absence of ego and come face to face with bliss which is our real nature.
