hi all, i have been looking into Hinduism lately and have really enjoyed some of the teachings. i have a few questions for somebody who is fairly familiar with the "8 limbs of yoga" or otherwise the pathway to enlightenment.
as i understand it, 'Samadhi' is basically the same as, nirvana, enlightenment, liberation... merging with the cosmic consciousness.
lets say one had mastered Dharana and Dhyana, and was able to then achieve Samadhi in his/her deep meditation sessions. how does this relate to mastery or ascension of the physical plane, and also how does this relate to transcending the physical plane upon death?
for example, if one could achieve Samadhi, could one then leave the physical plane in this state as the 'ascended masters' are able to?
and also if one could achieve Samadhi, what would actually happen when they die? would they be able to 'merge with Samadhi' upon the death experience? if so would they be liberated to the 5th density? 7th density? or literally merge with God?
thankyou for any help it is very much appreciated, i hope my questions are understandable.
