Samadhi with embedded causes
Ta Eva Sabija Samadi
All that has been described in the Sutras earlier are different states of absorbtion which has an embedded cause like a seed which is the reason for the sprouting of a plant which grows into a tree. The seeds of various mental tendencies lie hidden in the sub-conscious mind and can sprout any time when the situation is conducive. So when such a person enters into samadhi due to various factors, can drop down to normal human experiences filed with likes and dislikes, passions and hatred. The seed are still remaining within and hence the state of Samadhi with seeds is for a temporary period. - Swahilya Shambhavi
(Trees in Tungnath. As long as there are seeds, there will be trees. As long as there are imprints embedded in the sub-conscious, thoughts will keep springing.)

So true, but lets not forget that we have the choice to cultivate the seeds we like and weed out the ones we don't thus we are the masters of our self.
Yes Buddha. The mind is a garden which needs constant ploughing, weeding, watering, fertilisers and pesticides. Constant tending makes it a garden of enlightenment. Only in such a garden is even a glimpse of Samadhi possible. Otherwise, one is bound to all the problems that may constantly crop up with the wrong weeds, fruits and seeds that are allowed to grow.

Welcome Ray! Thanks. Last week I was busy with quite a lot of things and so some rest for blogging! I am however regularly posting my Indian Express Pages on the Between The Lines and Soulmate Blogs. The rest will continue from today onward.
