this version: is the printed A'nanda Vacana'mrtam Part 12, 1st edition, version 
	(spelling mistakes only may have been corrected). I.e., this is the most 
	up-to-date version as of the present Electronic Edition.

	Last night I said that in our psycho-spiritual process, our starting point is within the realm of time, space and person.  And our goal, for which I use the term 'Supreme Noumenal entity', is beyond the reach of time, pace and person.

	Now in the course of occult practice, the bondages of the mutative principle, static principle and the sentient principle become loose.  When the bondage of the static principle disappears, the aspirant enjoys a particular nature of bliss.  There, that is, in that stage, there remains no static bondage, but the bondages of the mutative and sentient principle are there.  Then the bondage of the mutative principle disappears.  And finally, when the bondage of he sentient principle disappears, man becomes one with his object of ideation.

	Now when, in the primordial phase, after starting in the physical sphere, the aspirant is just about to cross the cordon of the static principle, he enjoys a special nature of pleasure.  We may say 'pleasure', because it is not the Supreme beatitude, but is a modified form of beatitude.  Not purely pleasure, something higher, something subtler, something more charming, more beautiful - more than pleasure.  That enjoyment, that psycho-spiritual enjoyment, is known as 'Dasha'' in Sam'skrta.

	In the Dasha' phase, the aspirant enjoys a sort of inner pleasure, but his sensory and motor organs fail to express it.  Even language is too weak to convey the experience.  That stage of the human mind is called 'Dasha''.  The mind tries to express something but the vocal chord cannot produce the appropriate sound.  In that stage the aspirant may create a sound like 'hah-ah-ah', like this, but no definite language is produced.

	Just when the aspirant crosses the cordon of the Supreme static point, just on the other side, he feels another type of pleasure.  And in that case he feels that he is with his God, he is with the Supreme entity.  The Universe is also there, but he feels that he has become a strong person - physically, mentally, spiritually - and under such circumstances, he doesn't care a fig for what the world says.  This phase is called 'Bha'va'.  When a man is in Bha'va, it will be  very easy for you to know it, because there will be a certain expression, not in the vocal chord, but from here [taps the Ana'hata Cakra].  Perhaps you have seen someone saying 'Ba'ba'! Ba'ba'!', saying like this.  Have you seen it?  Because the expression comes form this point [indicates Ana'hata Cakra again].

	Then when the aspirant crosses the cordon of the mutative principle, that stage is known as 'Bha'va Sama'dhi.'  At that stage the aspirant feels that he is with his Cosmic Goal.  There is no Universe.  At that stage, he knows the entitative existence of the Universe.  But he feels that he is with his Lord.  He enjoys Divine bliss, but it becomes very difficult for him to express, that is, he cannot express it.

	In the final phase, when he crosses the jurisdiction of the sentient principle, he feels that there is no duality, that is, the duality of him and his Lord, this duality, disappears.  He feels there is only one existence-he feels 'he is' or he feels 'the Lord is.'  'I am with my Lord' - 'I' and 'Lord' - this duality disappears.  This is called 'Maha'bha'va'.

	Now all higher Sama'dhis are different experiences of this Maha'bha'va.  It depends on the style of ideation.  But when one attains the stance of Maha'bha'va it is not at all difficult for he aspirant to enjoy other kinds of Sama'dhi.  Not Bha'va Sama'dhi, but actual Sama'dhi, that is, the highest form of Sama'dhi.

	But all those Sama'dhis which are within the boundaries of the sentient principle are qualified sama'dhis, attributional sama'dhis.  And the mind remains - either in the form of the microcosm or in the form of the Macrocosm, the ectoplasmic stuff is there.  But when the aspirant brings his mind to a pointed form, to a pinnacled form, to an apexed form, the mind, the ectoplasmic stuff disappears due to extreme concentration, and under such circumstances the Supreme Cognitive Faculty remains.  This is called 'non-qualified, non-attributional sama'dhi' - 'Nirvikalpa Sama'dhi' in Sam'skrta.

	By dint of Japa Kriya', Japa, one attains the attributional stage of Sama'dhi, and by dint of one's Dhya'na one attains the non-attributional stance of Sama'dhi, which is the goal of each and every individual of this Universe.  You should know it and you should do accordingly.
