On the breath leaving, the soul drinks the nectar of its own form.
(493) The soul experiences the direct nectar-like taste of the innate samadhi bliss, which is the supreme nectar in the form of the eight stages of liberation of the self-hidden soul. In the same way, the crest-jewel of the ascetics, Shri Amritchandraji, has expressed this supreme self-awareness in the overflowing joy of the Shri Samayasar Kalash:
“Those who, having abandoned the bias of the path, dwell eternally in the self-hidden form, their minds freed from the net of alternatives, they alone drink the nectar directly.”
In this eighth vision, where such supreme self-samadhi manifests, the eighth mental defect called fire is completely abandoned. Attachment to a particular action due to the color that is applied to that place, that is, attachment to that action itself, is the defect of attachment. The action that is being performed, the feeling that “this is beautiful,” “this is ugly,” “this is good,” whatever color is applied, whatever feeling of attachment arises, to remain stuck in that, to be entangled in that, is attachment. Because, if the soul remains attached to a single place, it remains stuck there, it does not progress, it does not advance, it does not touch the next stage of virtue, and therefore does not attain the success, the liberation, which is the ultimate goal. (See page 86).
“Like the fragrance of sandalwood, forgiveness is not appreciated here; attachment is forbidden here, action is attributed to its own virtue.” — Sajja 8-2
Or, attachment arising in the context of matter and its influence is attachment. This vision-possessing, dispassionate, great yogi has no attachment, even in the slightest, to the atoms of matter and its influence, not even in dreams, not even for a moment, does he develop a sense of self towards them; because, except for the pure soul, even an atom is not different, he has this unbroken self-awareness. Why would such a supremely self-aware soul have attachment to influence? Indeed, attachment elsewhere is far away, but as mentioned above, even in the action of yoga-samadhi, he does not have attachment! And therefore, this yogi-lord, attaining higher and higher stages of samadhi, progresses, attaining higher and higher stages of virtue; he does not remain stuck in a single place, but constantly increases his infinite restraint, and climbing the ladder of stages of virtue, he attains the exalted state of self-samadhi.
“Gradually, restraint touches the soul, the acquired perishable feeling; the series of restraints destroys the whole, it worships the state of liberation.” — Shri Yashovijayji
