Meditative Absorption (Samādhi)
Absorption so complete the meditator and the meditated-on become one.
Samādhi is the deepest reach of meditation: a state of total absorption in which the usual gap between the one who meditates and what is meditated upon falls away. Patañjali's Yoga distinguishes stages of it, from absorption that still has an object to a final 'seedless' stillness. It is the eighth and crowning limb of yoga and a key to the pure self standing free.
