What is Samadhi? Sadhguru explains why it is more than deep meditation

in5points
  1. Sadhguru explains Samadhi as a state of inner balance where the intellect becomes completely equanimous.

  2. The word Samadhi derives from Sanskrit: 'sama' meaning equanimity and 'dhi' meaning intellect.

  3. Samadhi goes beyond conventional meditation; it is a shift in perception rather than a technique for relaxation or concentration.

  4. Sadhguru compares the intellect to a sword, useful but not needing to dominate every experience.

  5. He cautions that Samadhi is typically approached through long-term spiritual practice under guidance, not achieved instantly.
