Samadhi and Realization of Brahman
What is the state of one's mind in Samadhi? It is like the state of bliss that is experienced by a live fish which, after being kept out of water for some time, is again put into it.
Mysterious is that sacred state which recognizes neither teacher, nor pupil. Brahma-jnana is so mysterious that when one attains it there remains no distinction between the Guru and the disciple.
As a lamp brought into a room that has been dark for a thousand years illumines it immediately, the light of Jnana illumines the Jiva, and dispels his age-long ignorance.
On being questioned as to whether he was conscious of the gross world in the state of Samadhi, the Master replied,
"There are hills and mountains, dales and valleys under the sea, but they are not
visible from the surface. So in the state of Samadhi one sees the broad expanse of Sachchidananda only,
and the individual consciousness lies in a latent condition."
