Samadhi, Coma, and Anaesthesia

“The stillness of Samadhi is awakened awareness.
The silence of Coma is disrupted consciousness.
The unconsciousness of Anaesthesia is medically induced suspension.
Though outwardly similar, their inner realities are profoundly different.”
Humanity has always been fascinated by the mystery of consciousness.

Across civilizations, people have attempted to understand what truly happens when the mind becomes silent, when awareness withdraws from the external world, or when the body appears motionless and disconnected from ordinary perception. Ancient sages approached this mystery through meditation and inner observation, while modern science approached it through neurology, physiology, and clinical research.
