The little me > disappears and there is no me only THAT. Alright, now you really got me mad! You're gonna get it, just wait, you punk!.....anyway, like I was saying: At any rate, Sattvic is of the Gunas, not the Purusha. In Samadhi we experience the Purusha, eternal unmanifest (to the three worlds), beyond relativity, and its nature is Unity, Consciousness and Anandam/bliss. Clue...the little me doesn't exist, but in its impure state the soul thinks of itself as the ego (little me) it's an illusion of Maya (Satan the 'magical measurer') however, this apparency gets its life from the jiva/soul. Since it is 'identified' with the objects of the senses it thinks it is separate from soul, in reality it is not. When we meditate we just drop the illusion and the natural awareness we already have (albeit meager) expands to realize tat-tvam-asi, *I* am that! MMY-Gita "Upanishads declare: Tat tvam asi-That thou art, implying that this obvious phase of phenomenal existence, which you take as your self, is not your real nature-you, in fact, are That transcendent Reality"....beautiful quote from MMY in Gita CHV vs17. So in a way, you're right, hee, hee!
