Mysticism

Nirvitarka-samadhi follows vitarka, and is characterized by the absence of the name and the conceptual meaning of the object of meditation. This stage is not considered one of cognition, the mind simply is, and the object being a reflection of the mind is experienced beyond name, form, or any other type of association.
