Then it produces bliss of mind and richness of beauty in form.Through the abundance of innate bliss, the mind attains the mindless state.

In ghaṭāvasthā arises cittānanda — mental bliss, different from physical or sensory bliss.The body acquires rūpa-saundarya-sampadām — richness of formal beauty.The yogi’s external appearance is transformed, radiating a beauty that does not depend on ordinary physical characteristics but on inner luminosity.

The key term is sahajānanda — innate, natural, spontaneous bliss.It is not a produced or cultivated state but the recognition of happiness that was always present as the fundamental nature of being.This bliss is sandoha — abundant, flowing without restriction.

The result is amanaskatā — the mindless state, where the ordinary mind ceases its compulsive activity.Svātmārāma uses the same word that gives its title to Amanaska Yoga, an important text of haṭha yoga.This is not a state of stupor or unconsciousness but of pure consciousness without mental modifications (vṛttis).The mind does not disappear;it calms down to transparency.
