The great yogi Patanjali used the term samyama to describe the three levels/limbs of meditation. Knowing these stages can help in understanding where you are and how to advance. You can enter higher states of awareness as you develop in meditation.
There is a third level of meditation which is the most important and most beautiful. One day when you are meditating, you experience samadhi — you become absorbed in Spirit. You release all the limitations of ego, mind, past history, desires and fears. You begin to discover that Spirit is everywhere, manifesting the universe and keeping you alive. With spiritual sight, you see that people and the world are forms of Spirit. You experience the wonder, glory, beauty, love and bliss of Spirit.
It is a wonderful revelation. Through samadhi you discover that Spirit sustains your life, that It is omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient. You are a new being as a result of your first samadhi. You understand that Spirit is your essence — your source of life — and you allow It to express fully and freely through you.
We ask you to commit two hours a week to selfless service. This service can be anything you choose ranging from helping a family member or neighbor to volunteering at a nonprofit organization.
This commitment is solely between you and your inner self.
