I would clearly have to disagree...in order to transcend to samadhi a certain amount of spiritual purity must be garnered FIRST! Regular meditation will help you to do this, meditation and activity go hand in hand. You must apply the power you achieve in Meditation, remember the archer analogy.....to achieve success in life the arrow must be pulled all the way back to achieve maximum force....then must be aimed properly!! Your will does the aiming......
