Question is : How long you need to practice to attain nirvikalpa samadhi?
Vijay Kumar:
By Samadhi... you
mean the stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi! The ultimate goal of meditation yoga is
achieving the state of Nirvikalpa Samadhi permanently. This is also the ultimate
goal of life for every soul atman within our body! The stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi
announces one having gained enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) forever.
Beyond
the stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi there is nothing else to be achieved in the cosmic
system! Having liberated itself from the cycle of birth and death forever... the
released soul atman finally gains entry into the abode of God... the kingdom of
God (aka Baikuntha in Hinduism).
Reaching
the stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi being the end goal of every life... the 8.4 millionth
manifestation... having negated the presence of dross impurities within... the
liberated soul atman finally regains its original pure pristine form!
How
difficult it is to reach the stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi is illustrated from the
fact that in the past about 150 years only two persons amongst 6500 million people
living on Mother Earth reached the stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi... they were Sri
Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana!
Both
Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana gained enlightenment and finally
salvation (moksha) in their lifetime! For human beings to reach the stage of Nirvikalpa
Samadhi, God Almighty has ordained a cycle of 1.1 million manifestations (an earthly
abode of 12.4 million years).
However...
at every stage of life the journey can be cut short! By practicing Neti (not this,
not this) as preached and advocated by Maharishi Ramana... one finally negates
the presence of everything that is not God Almighty. Ultimately, what remains
is God Almighty himself! The most important prerequisite for reaching the stage
of Nirvikalpa Samadhi is practicing absolute celibacy (Brahmacharya Vrata) for
a minimum period of 12 years in continuation!
The
practice of absolute celibacy for a minimum period of 12 years in continuation
finally leads one towards full awakening of the Kundalini. The moment this happens...
the Shahastra Pushpa (the thousand petalled lotus) within the brain existing behind
the forehead opens up fully. The enlightened being immediately reaches the stage
of Nirvikalpa Samadhi!
The stage of
Nirvikalpa Samadhi means coming face-to-face with God Almighty on one-to-one basis.
When everything in the Cosmos gets negated... every single thought passing through
brain stops at its base... the soul atman within every human body regains its
original pure pristine form. Stopping the flow of thoughts altogether and that
too permanently... reaching the stage of nothingness is the reaching the stage
of Nirvikalpa Samadhi forever!
Devoid
of all impurities dross within... the liberated soul atman further need not manifest
a body! The need for the soul atman to work out its karma ceasing forever... the
soul atman finally gains absolute purity! Gaining absolute purity by the soul
atman within announces reaching the 8.4 millionth manifestation... the last in
the cosmic life cycle!
In
whatever stage of manifestation I may have been... I simply wanted to see and
meet God in this very life! Following the path of absolute truthfulness... hearing
the sweet small inner voice of my soul atman... I finally transcended all barriers
of mortal life... the ephemeral life... the worldly life (aka Samsara in Hinduism)!
Gaining
absolute control over the five senses and the mind definitely needs time. Furthermore
practicing celibacy for a minimum period of 12 years in continuation is also very
difficult! Practicing Neti... the Shavasana path of yoga one finally realizes
the inner self... our soul atman within! Life on the spiritual path is difficult...
very difficult... but not impossible!
When
Acharya Rajneesh (aka Osho) and sage Vishwamitra failed on the scales of practicing
absolute celibacy... what to talk of the present Kali Yuga when human beings consider
reaching the stage of Swami Vivekananda almost impossible! Swami Vivekananda never
reached the stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi in his lifetime... he never was after
self realization!
The
uncharted path of spirituality is difficult to travel in the present Kali Yuga
of today! Yet, the fruits of traveling the spiritual path always merit traveling
the spiritual journey! Who knows what we shall be in the next manifestation...
why not travel the spiritual path now.
