Teachings of Monastic Disciples of Sri Ramakrishna
Absorption
Swami Brahmananda
The Subtle mind leads the aspirant nearer to God, but it cannot reach God, the supreme Atman. Having reached this stage, the world no longer holds any charm for the aspirant; he becomes absorbed in the consciousness of God. This absorption leads to Samadhi, an experience which cannot be described. It is beyond being and is not. There, there is neither happiness nor misery, neither light nor darkness. Everything is infinite being – inexpressible.
(Et. Comp. p.184)
Higher still is Meditation. When a man practices this form of worship, he keeps up a constant flow of thought toward God and becomes absorbed in the sense of duality remains. (Et.Comp. p.185)
