"To learn anything you must meditate. Meditation is how you learn. In
the context of yoga, meditation is deliberately used to examine
non-experiential awareness or to examine what is common to any and all
experience. The ultimate realization of yoga usually cannot be given
directly. Instead a method is given, and nirvikalpa samadhi is either
actualized or not by each individual. I will attempt to outline what
potentially takes place. The key concept exists in higher mathematics.
In mathematics there is a precise definition for the `fixed point' of a
function. The idea of a fixed point in the context of meditation is as
follows. Let
s A state of mind.
C() : s->s Concentration -- a function that maps from the
current
state of mind to the next state of mind.
Meditation is to apply concentration repeatedly. Meditation is called
`samadhi' when there is no gap between each moment of concentration.
s Time
C(s) ||
C(C(s)) ||
C(C(C(s))) ||
C(C(..C(s)..)) \/
A fixed point is reached when applying more concentration no longer
changes one's state of mind.
C(..C(s)..) is equal to C(C(..C(s)..))"
