Ecstatic state.

“In ‘dhyana’ (meditation) or ‘samadhi’ there comes a stage where there is no possibility even of perceiving a second besides the One.  There, the behavior that arises out of duality cannot occur.  What is referred to here is a state in which there is no movement, although there appears to be.  How can movement be possible here?  When such a person is seen acting, someone may perhaps remark: “He has descended in order to do some particular work.” When an M. A. reads the abc, does he thereby lose his status as an M.A.?  There is a state where nothing can possibly appear as a ‘second’.  Having dived into the Ganges, one is bound to be wholly drenched.”
        ~ Sri Anandamayi Ma
