Also known as Asamprajnata Samadhi, it is the highest state of samadhi, where super concentration with mindfulness is manifested. The other stages of Samadhi allow for immersion in bliss but do not entirely break the subjective and objective connection.
Instead, they are preparatory stages for enlightenment. However, in Nirikalpa Samadhi, all processes of understanding stop, and the temporal, causal, and spatial structure ceases to exist. It is believed that in this state, the unification of the subject and the Cosmic Consciousness takes place. One can see the true nature of the universe far away from subtle objects.
The practitioner (yogi) ultimately merged with the Absolute, and his consciousness ceases to be separate from the Supreme. The absolute and the yogi become one. This is truly the state when a person discovers the Atman in himself. He not only understood this but also realized and manifested the Atman while still being in the subtle body.
From the word itself, we can understand that there is an end to the movement of thoughts. Instead of Vikalpa comes Nirvikalpa, characterized by a complete absence of reflections, Sunya, divine, Nothing, and complete union with the Absolute, when inner and outer thoughts are stopped.
This is the state of delight, which in Yoga is called Ananda, but it is not identical to the joy that we already know in the earthly life. This new type of spiritual ecstasy cannot be expressed in words."
