Caturthopadeśaḥ (Samādhi) · Verse 60

समरसत्वमापन्नः सुखेन पवनोज्झितः | स जीवो ब्रह्मणि स्थित्वा समाधिं प्राप्नुयादिह

samarasatvamāpannaḥ sukhena pavonojjhitaḥ | sa jīvo brahmaṇi sthitvā samādhiṃ prāpnuyādiha

Having attained equality of taste, easily liberated from the wind, that jīva, established in Brahman, attains samādhi here.

Samarasatva is a technical term meaning “equality of taste” or “essential equanimity.”All experiences — pleasurable and painful, mundane and spiritual — are recognized as having the same fundamental “flavor”: the consciousness that perceives them.This equality is not indifference but recognition of the common nature of all experience.

Sukhenapavonojjhitaḥ — liberated from the wind easily, effortlessly.When samarasatva is achieved, liberation from prāṇa (and with it, identification with the body-mind) occurs naturally.It does not require forced practice;flows as a consequence of recognition.

Iha — here — emphasizes that samādhi is achieved in this life, in this body, at this moment.It is not a promise for after death or in future lives.The jīva is established (shitvā) in Brahman and experiences samādhi here and now.The Bihar School highlights this immediacy as an essential characteristic of the yogic path.
