In contemplation, the mind rises above the inner and outer worlds of plurality and arrives at a unique State of Consciousness where the Self alone is. It is a state wherein all the mental and intellectual fluctuations have disappeared; therefore, the mind–intellect (dhī) has become thoughtless, totally undisturbed (śama).
In this samadhi state, thoughts cease, the mind–intellect withers away, and the Consciousness that was caught in the web of thoughts gets released totally from all its encumbrances. In this total State of Liberation, one recognizes neither an outer world of names and forms nor an inner world of emotions and thoughts. The individual and his world of plurality merge to disappear in the experience of the Substratum, the Self.
There where thoughts retire and disappear slowly; where the mind and intellect are held at conscious attention through dedicated efforts at yoga; where the mind has ended and you are not pushed into a dark abyss of sleep; where the Self recognizes the Self, just as a waker recognizes a waker; wherein you discover total peace, no more a whiff of desire wanting something more to be complete; where infinite happiness is experienced, not where the intellect can apprehend [anything] — at the same time up to the maximum height it goes by the help of the mind and intellect, till, like a helium balloon, it bursts and helium joins space.
