When Annamalai Swami asked Bhagavan, 'What is Samadhi?'
Bhagavan replied by showing,
25th verse, Chapter 45, Ribhu Gita. Nidaga explains to his Guru, Ribhu, how he attained Samadhi.
'I is forever Brahman and Brahman is indeed 'I'. This conviction, when firmly experienced, is known as unshaken Samadhi. That is samadhi when there is thought-free nirvikalpa [no differences] abidance, freed from all appearances of duality. My Lord, through these two types of samadhi I have attained the bliss of jivanmukta [liberation while still alive] and become the spotless Supreme.
