◎Samadhi Between Each Body
OSHO Bhagwan states that moving from the sixth body Atman to the seventh body Nirvana is the ultimate death and letting go.
Furthermore, he speaks of something no one else mentions: the Samadhi that occurs in between.
It should be noted that there are two types of Samadhi: a trance-like Samadhi where the observing self remains, and a type of Samadhi where the observing self does not exist.
"In fact, there are various types of Samadhi. Some Samadhi occurs between the fourth and fifth bodies. Remember, Samadhi is not an event within a single dimension. It always occurs in the twilight between two dimensions. It is most natural to ask whether twilight belongs to day or night, but twilight belongs to neither; it is an event in between. Samadhi is the same.
The first Samadhi occurs between the fourth and fifth dimensions. This Samadhi leads to self-realization, Atma-Gyan. Some Samadhi occurs between the fifth and sixth dimensions, and this leads to Brahma-Gyan, cosmic wisdom. The Samadhi that occurs between the sixth and seventh dimensions leads to Nirvana.
Therefore, generally, three Samadhis occur between the last three shariras—the last three bodies."
(Quoted from "The Search for the Miraculous, Vol. 2 - The Mystery of the Seven Bodies" by Osho, Shimin Publishing House, p. 414)
OSHO Bhagwan also explains that Samadhi is something that occurs between bodies, like a door (if you consider each body a room), and not the body itself. (Ibid., p. 416)
This speaks of something that should not really be spoken of.
Most religions and ancient traditions do not go this far.
It is commonly said that when a person dies, they cross the Sanzu River, which is the boundary between life and death. However, there is almost no explanation of what kind of river it is.
However, the Tibetan Book of the Dead speaks of the entire process of crossing this boundary (hazama). It speaks of the in-between.
OSHO Bhagwan also hints at the path of crossing over to Nirvana.
Something that offers a similar image of a bridge to Nirvana is what Dante Alighieri described.
