If Maharishi only sat for years in a blank samadhi, he wouldn't have been able to even open a letter envelope for his Master, in other words, he would have been useless as a clerk or secretary.

But in fact, it's not a mental process at all - samadhi is beyond the gunas born of nature; that's why the Upanishadic teachers called it transcendental. > What is interesting to me is the sleight of hand > that suggested this mental absorption was pure > consciousness or samadhi. It fooled a lot of people. > What is interesting is your sleight of hand attemting to prove with your tiny brain power that you are an accomplished tantric siddha. Can you show us some evidence?
