________________
Patanjali's Eight Stages of Yoga and Meditation Art & Science of Meditation this purity of mind, your thoughts, behaviour, emotions, and intellect become increasingly more transparent, and you develop harmony. This helps you reach to the bottom of the unconscious mind where there is divinity so you become more and more divine.
8. Samadhi – After self-realization, you want to devote yourself completely to your God. God is present everywhere. All living beings have divinity in their unconscious mind. If you devote yourself completely you realize yourself that there is some super natural force which we call God. Hence, gradually by devotion and submission to the God, you realize the presence of God, and your soul gets attached to God completely.
After achieving Samadhi you are totally liberated from miseries and pains of birth and death. You are totally free and attached to the divinity, from where we are born in the first stage of existence. And the final goal of life is reunion with our God from we were born. What Patanjali yoga says is non-religious so that anybody can practice it independently if one wants to do so. It requires lots of willpower to control your mind, instincts, prejudices and complexes willingly without any suppression, and improving your physical and mental health and spirituality to achieve the final goal through continuous meditation.
