Maharshi said the real attainment was to be FULLY CONSCIOUS, to be aware of your surroundings and the people around, to move among them all, but not to merge your consciousness in the environment. Remain in your inner independent awareness of IT. That is the highest - not to sit in trance which merely halts the mind. The mind must be destroyed entirely, not merely arrested.
On Not Thinking:
D: But it is not easy to remain without thinking.
Maharshi: You need not cease thinking. Only think of the root of the thoughts; seek it and find it. The Self shines by itself. When that is found the thoughts cease of their own accord. That is freedom from bondage.
