In the Yoga Sutras, Samadhi is described as the final stage in the eightfold path—a state of deep meditative absorption in which the usual mental activity becomes completely still. The mind, trained through concentration (Dharana) and meditation (Dhyana), settles into silence, and awareness flows effortlessly toward a single object until even that distinction fades. What remains is a profound stillness—pure awareness, undistracted by thought or self-reflection.
This is the essence of Samadhi: not a trance or an escape, but a clear and spacious mode of consciousness that emerges when the mind no longer filters or distorts experience. It is the fulfillment of the yogic journey—a moment when all effort dissolves, and being becomes enough. The mind has done its work; now, consciousness shines.
