In which body is samadhi obtained?

definition
"Samadhi is not confined to any single body; it unfolds in the sacred twilight between realms, where true realization transcends the limitations of form."
According to Osho, samadhi is not attained within any single body; it always happens between planes—like twilight between day and night. The three authentic samadhis occur in the transitions: between the fourth and fifth bodies (self-realization), between the fifth and sixth (cosmic knowing), and between the sixth and seventh (nirvana). A fourth, false ‘samadhi’ (satori) occurs within the fourth—merely a psychic absorption.
Samadhi isn’t in one body; it happens at the doorways between bodies, while the pleasant trance inside the 4th body (satori) only looks like it.
