Atma Darshan in the State of Samadhi

      People generally think that in the state of Samadhi one gets Darshan (the vision) of Atma. But this is not true as Samadhi is a special state of Chit only. Real Atma Darshan, meaning Darshan of pure Chidrupi Samvit, is not possible till Chit is there.This is not possible till Chit is totally annihilated. Atma Sakshatkaar can actually be achieved only with Atma Shakti. Atma Shakti is Chit shakti but not Chit. Hence the meaning of Atma Sakshatkaar is Darshan of Atma by its own self. This is neither the Samadhi state nor Pragya associated with it. Chit Swaroop and Satvagun, both are bound states. When Chit and Achit are freed than Samadhi Pragya can not exist as during this time only Mool Prakriti remains. Chidroop Purush gets established in itself. The form of Purusha is light an hence it can be sighted. After Samadhi, if because of Samadhi or grace of God, one gets Sakshatkaar then it remains.

      After Brahm Sakshatkaar, the difference between the states of Samadhi and Uthaan (rising) is removed. Even if one gets Sakshatkaar for only a moment, it becomes eternal. Even if one gets Sakshatkaar before all the Sanskaars are removed, one still gets Darshan of creation because of rising of Sanskaars. This Darshan actually is not that Darshan. This is Abhas (the feeling) of the illusion filled world. As once Atma Darshan is obtained, one cannot have any other Darshan. Whatever Darshan one gets is because of the earlier Sanskaars and hence not actual Darshan of the Drishya. Once Atma becomes Drashta, it remains so for always. This only is the real Darshan. This Darshan cannot be received as the real Darshan until all the Sanskaaars are burnt. Only then the pure Darshan can take place. Weakening of Sanskaars makes the pure Darshan arise. This pure Darshan also is not fully the real Darshan of Atma. During this pure Darshan and Kaivalya state, the illusion of the world is not perceived. Complete Atma Sakshatkaar is experienced only when Atma is perceived in each and every element (or Bhoot). Sagunroop Darshan of Chit Shakti in Sarvbhoot (all elements) is not possible in the Kaivalya state, but only after it. Without realisation of Chit Shakti this state is not at all possible.

      As a person enjoys the Anand of his dreams after waking up from the state of sleep, in the same way after Atma Darshan, when his sleep of attachments to the world is removed, the world is seen as an illusion. As the world is seen as real in our waking state, in the same way it is seen as an illusion when Atma Sakshatkaar is achieved. Just as after realisation, one can not feel the gross world. Then the whole world is experienced by the realised one like in his own dream. When full realisation dawns then his Smriti leaves the dream state and take form. After complete Darshan, the whole world is not seen as anything different but is experienced as the play of Chaitanya Shakti in the Akhand Chidatma.  Until the past and future do not enter the Ever Present, this state can never be realised. This alone is Sarvatra Bhav or non-duality. 
Here seer and seen become one. That is why it is written in the Upanishads:

                    ‘Yasya Sarve Atmaivabhoot, Tatra kim ken Pashyanti’.

Everything is Atma, this should not be read from scriptures, but it has to be realised by one’s own self.  When this Pragya is experienced in Samadhi, in that upward state the present also disappears then only its Smriti is left………….Om!
