The Summits of God-Life: Samadhi and Siddhi
An authortitative discussion of consciousness and the very advanced stages of spiritual practice. Few people in history have attained these highest states and fewer still have clearly revealed their meanings in such simple, understandable language. In fact, as Sri Chinmoy explains, the very use of language is totally inadequate to convey the qualities of these realms. Topics: Infinity, nirvana, trance, liberation, realisation, ananda, and more.

Excerpt:
“Question: What is Consciousness?
Sri Chinmoy: Consciousness is the inner spark or inner link in us, the golden link within us that connects our highest and most illumined part with our lowest and most unillumined part. Consciousness is the connecting link between Heaven and earth. Now, where is Heaven? It is not upstairs or somewhere far away. Heaven is in our consciousness. But it is the divine consciousness that connects earth with Heaven. The ordinary human consciousness will only connect us with something very, very limited and, at the same time, very fleeting. For one second we will be able to focus our consciousness on another person, and then our concentration disappears. But when we deal with the inner consciousness, which is the boundless, illumined, transformed consciousness, then our focus of concentration can go on, go on, go on.”
