Amanaskatā is the alert state of dynamic fullness of the self (atman), it is the condition where there is no mind, the mindless state; it is the state when the mind dissolves and the self shines.[1] It is the transmental state which is also called no-mindedness (unmani) and yogic sleep (yoga-nidra) as the prolonged absorption in the formless ecstasy or nirvikalpa samadhi; it is the state in which the jivanmukta (liberated being) exists experiencing a sense of universality.[2] According to the Laya-chintana of Antahkarana ('mind'), the mind is absorbed in Mahat (Buddhi), Individual Buddhi is absorbed in the Cosmic Buddhi, Cosmic Buddhi in Avyakta which is Brahman; in other words, the effect is absorbed into cause.[3]
