In a state of samadhi, the mind is active and fully absorbed in the object of meditation, whether it's a deity or the self. The mind is steady, awake, and not falling asleep, akin to a lamp's flame in a windless place. This description highlights the deep focus and awareness achieved in Vedantic meditation, with the reminder that these insights are typically gained through discussions with experienced teachers.
