The Boundless Vastness of Nirvikalpa Samadhi

The dissolution of self is not an idea to be understood but an experience so profound that it shatters every boundary of identity. Within Nirvikalpa Samadhi, there is no longer a centre from which one observes—only an ungraspable vastness, a presence that extends beyond perception. The familiar contours of individuality dissolve, revealing an unfathomable fullness, completeness untouched by time, thought, or form.

What remains is not an absence but an infinite presence, unrestricted and immeasurable. The self, once held together by thoughts, memories, and attachments, unravels into a luminous vastness beyond comprehension. The realization dawns that nothing was ever separate, that the entirety of existence is neither contained nor containable. There is no longer an observer and the observed—only boundless awareness, aware of itself.

This state transcends concepts, yet paradoxically, it is the source from which all concepts arise. It is neither stillness nor movement, yet it holds both in its embrace. Here, the experience of time fractures, revealing a simultaneity in which past, present, and future fold into a singular, ever-present awareness. What once seemed like a world moving in sequences is now seen as a single, unbroken wholeness, an indivisible totality.

Within this reality, the illusion of separateness is replaced by an undeniable recognition: the entire cosmos is held within, just as the being is held within the cosmos. Boundaries between self and universe collapse, and what is left is an intimate knowing—everything is this, and this is everything.

Emerging from this state feels like waking from a dream so convincing that it has been mistaken for reality. The self that once seemed so solid is revealed as nothing more than a fleeting mirage. What remains is pure awareness—unfiltered, absolute, and infinite. The brilliance of this realization is the recognition of one’s Original Nature, the luminous essence beyond all veils, what some call Dharmakaya, the unmanifested ocean of infinite potential.

The Profound Journey

Into the Vastness of Nirvikalpa Samadhi

Embarking upon the voyage of self-realization, one might chance upon the profound state of Nirvikalpa Samadhi, a realm where ordinary definitions of consciousness cease to exist. A phenomenon beyond words, it is an experience of unbounded vastness, where the mind expands beyond its limitations, reaching toward the omnipresent truth of totality.

Becoming the Absolute

In this unfathomable dimension, you journey from your everyday self to a radiant wholeness, a unity that echoes in the depths of your being. As your identity dissolves into the absolute, the stark paradox of the universe comes into focus – the reality of nothingness. This is the state where you free yourself from all worldly attachments, transcend your ego and step into a realm of pure awareness. The essence of who you truly are emerges, unrestrained and sovereign. The concept of ‘you’ vanishes, leaving a sea of pure consciousness in its steads.

Realizing the Totality

Nirvikalpa Samadhi takes you beyond yourself, and merges you with the Universe, introducing you to the power of omnipresence. You discover your entire being present everywhere, intertwined with everything, past, present, and future. A profound realization dawns upon you as you feel the universe within you, and yourself within the universe. A beautiful interplay of microcosm and macrocosm emerges, painting a picture of cosmic unity.

Saccidananda: The Triune Reality

The experience deepens further as you ascend to Saccidananda – a Sanskrit term that merges Sat (existence), Chit (consciousness), and Ananda (bliss). In this transcendent state, you attain an all-encompassing awareness, understanding that you are everything that exists, everything that is conscious. You become the embodiment of bliss itself, experiencing an ineffable joy that pervades all creation.

Awakening from the Dream

As you delve deeper into Nirvikalpa Samadhi, you experience an awakening, reminiscent of rousing from a profound slumber. The world as you know it – a construct of your mind, appears as an illusory dream. The illusion of the self fades away, making way for an unfiltered perception of reality. The world, once a confusing labyrinth, the world transforms into a crystal-clear mirror reflecting your true essence.

The Unmanifested Oceanic Field

This ultimate state of consciousness acquaints you with your original face – a radiant, bright light that is the source of all creation. You find yourself in the heart of the unmanifested oceanic field, the Dharmakaya in Buddhist philosophy. A state where all potentials reside, this is the womb of the cosmos where creation unfolds from possibility into existence.

Engaging with Nirvikalpa Samadhi is not merely a philosophical exercise, but a transformative experience that illuminates the path towards self-realization and universal understanding. It is a mystical journey into the depths of consciousness, where one awakens to the fundamental truth of existence – that we are all interconnected, part of a cosmic symphony resonating with the music of the universe.
