the seedless samadhi. It comes on its own, just like the grass grows by itself. Then the last control is transcended, and there is no one who transcends it. It is simply transcended. There is no one who transcends it, because if someone is there to transcend it, again the control is there. So you cannot do anything about it.
That's why Patanjali simply ends: it is samadhi both.
Here ends the chapter on samadhis -- nothing more to say. He doesn't say anything how to do it. There is no how to it. This is the point where Krishnamurti gets very angry, when people ask, "How?"

Beyond that you can live in the market, because the market is as beautiful as the monastery. Beyond that you can do whatsoever you feel like doing -- you can do your own thing -- but not before that. You can relax; the search is over. In that relaxation comes the moment of inner tuning with the cosmos, and the wall disappears. Because it is created by your doing; when you don't do, it disappears. It is fed by your doing. When
