“Just as the pure crystal takes colour from the object which is nearest to it, so the mind, when it is cleared of thought waves, achieves sameness or identity with the object of its concentration. This may be either a gross object, or the organ of perception, or the sense of ego. This achievement of sameness or identity with the object of concentration is known as samAdhi.” (This is the first level of samAdhi) (Translation by Swami Prabhavananda)
