Mattress Baba Christananda

How can there be distinctions in a supreme reality , which is by nature one?Who has noticed any distinctions in the pure joy of deep sleep ?
-Vivekachudamani-
One day we found the rare Jivanmukta, Baba Christananda in deep samadhi .This is the only photo taken of him so far . Feeling the oneness of all things we silently smiled in bliss as a great Shakti bathed the room and many people came to sit in His divine prescence. Baba returns to the holy mountain Arunachala, where he meets all in bliss and joy!

The essential nature of this Reality is revealed in a
stunning, timeless moment of Realization:
"Wonder of wonders! This very enlightenment is
the nature of all beings, and yet they are unhappy
for lack of it!"
The Buddha's exclamation at
the moment of his Awakening

Was that a beer-induced "deep samadhi" :-)

To me it looks more like an even more rare and mystical experience called "crashing out" (for lack of a better translation of the sanskrit term, "deergha nidra").
