Now the consummation stage: having passed through the levels, uniting air, mind and fire with the Self, it is considered the supreme consummation.

The fourth and final stage, niṣpattyavasthā, marks the completion of the process.Niṣpatti means consummation, perfection, ripe fruit.The yogi has passed through (truṭita) all the bhūmikās — the levels, stages or terrains of practice.

The final union is threefold: vāyu (air/prāṇa), citta (mind) and anala (fire/agni) merge with ātman — the Self. These three elements represent the fundamental forces that constitute the individual experience.Its dissolution in Being is liberation.

The Bihar School emphasizes that this is not annihilation but integration.Prāṇa, mind and fire do not disappear — they are recognized as expressions of the one Self.The duality between meditator and meditation collapses.Mallinson observes that this description corresponds to the sahaja samādhi of later traditions: a state that can be maintained during ordinary activity because it does not depend on particular conditions.The yogi has completed the journey;now lives from the consummation.
