Patanjali Yoga Sutra - 46


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.)
