Q & A
When I was at Yogaville in Buckingham, Virginia, a woman asked Swami Satchidananda: "What is God?".
Swamiji paused for a few seconds and then said: "God is the eternal witness".

Shri Amarnath Ji | श्री अमरनाथ जी आरती | 10 July 2024 |
This is the cave with the Shiva Ice Lingam. Its melting years ago signaled a disaster was imminent in terms of global climate destabilization. The pilgrimage site is sacred to devotees of Lord Shiva, the destructive aspect of the Tri-Murti. For climate activists, this sacred place located in the Kashmir Himalayas is hugely relevant from the spiritual perspective. ~Om Namah Shivaya~

Sahaja Samadhi Avastha
2.3. THE AROMA OF SAHAJA AVASTHA
No one need struggle to pass from Sahaja to Nirvikalpa Samadhi; it is an automatic process. Even the struggle that the Yogi puts forth (if it may be called struggle) is intended only to maintain the Sahaja Avastha. The slender thread of Sattvic ego should be prevented from assuming Rajasic proportions. Though such downfall is very rare, we do come across such instances in our scriptures where a slight heedlessness spoils the game. If, as Lord Krishna puts it in the Gita, this Sahaja Avastha is maintained till the very end of life (till the Prarabdha is exhausted), one attains Brahma-Nirvana or Nirvikalpa Samadhi.
Sahaja being a God-conscious state, the Yogi vigorously engages himself in Lokasangraha. In selfless service and cosmic love, Karma is rapidly worn out, and the Supreme Culmination is hastened-at the same time all chances of even the slightest descent from the high Sahaja Avastha are prevented.
2.4. CHITTA SHUDDHI FOR SAMADHI
Q. Can I not get Samadhi without having Chitta Shuddhi?
A. No. Just as a superstructure cannot be built without proper foundation, so also Samadhi cannot be built without the foundation of Chitta Shuddhi. Just as the building that is built on a rotten foundation will fall down, so also the Sadhaka who is trying to attain Samadhi without Chitta Shuddhi will fall down. Purity of heart is the first pre-requisite in the spiritual path, be it Raja Yoga, Bhakti Yoga or Jnana Yoga.

Swami Samarpanananda: Parabrahman (Formless) and Aparabrahman (with Form)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJWLRBPSlVk
This is an extremely important talk by a senior monk of the Ramakrishna Order in India, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swami_Samarpanananda] explaining the difference between the Absolute without form and the Absolute with form. Take this to heart, know the truth, and be free.
