Hence I emphasize on celebration.
After each meditation celebrate, so celebration becomes part of you, and when the final happens, immediately you will be able to celebrate.
THESE SAMADHIS THAT RESULT FROM MEDITATION ON AN OBJECT ARE SAMADHIS WITH SEED, AND DO NOT GIVE FREEDOM FROM THE CYCLE OF REBIRTH.
The whole problem is how to be freed from the other, the object. The object is the whole world. You will come again and again if the object is there, because with the object exists desire, with the object exists thought, with the object exists ego, with the object you exist.

If the object is there, you will have to be born again and again, you will have to pass through the same misery, the same hell that is life, unless you become seedless.
And what is seedlessness? If the object is not there, there is no seed. Then all your past karmas simply
