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

in5points
Sadhguru explains Samadhi as a state of inner balance where the intellect becomes completely equanimous.
The word Samadhi derives from Sanskrit: 'sama' meaning equanimity and 'dhi' meaning intellect.
Samadhi goes beyond conventional meditation; it is a shift in perception rather than a technique for relaxation or concentration.
Sadhguru compares the intellect to a sword, useful but not needing to dominate every experience.
He cautions that Samadhi is typically approached through long-term spiritual practice under guidance, not achieved instantly.
