This group of sutras works through the four levels of meditation on an object
With and without gross thoughts
With and without subtle thoughts
This moves the Sadhaka through various states of samapattih or engrossment with an object. Theses are the stages through which one must work, allowing each to recede or seemingly fall away, before letting go of all of these states and moving onto seedless or objectionless Samadhi. It is important to note that even levels of Samadhi, as with any experience, leave latent impressions on the mind field and these will also have to be transgressed later.
The sadhaka is seeking knowledge which is usually “commingled” with concepts, words, impressions, experiences, visions or other sensory experiences. This is our normal way of experiencing knowledge, through explanation of external ideas and experiences. When one reaches seedless Samadhi, knowledge becomes pure and non-attached to worldly experience, thought or concept and is simply pure truth.
