The Ultimate Samadhi: Direct Recognition

A woman describes decades of feeling stuck on their spiritual path by believing progress required attaining formless samadhi states like those described in accounts of great sages. Despite experiencing bliss and energy currents, she felt inadequate without these complete absorptions. Rupert questions samadhi’s value, suggesting it often creates more intense longing and nostalgia, while missing that the ultimate samadhi is direct recognition of that to which ‘I am’ refers – our ever-present true nature.
