                "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)..))"
