What does samadhi mean and do those who experience it arrive at a solution?

Synthesized from Source definition

"Samadhi is not about arriving at a solution; it is the beautiful dissolution of the seeker into the whole, where the ego melts and questions vanish."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, samadhi isn't arriving at a place or finding a final answer; it is the dissolution of the one who seeks. In samadhi you are 'in solution', the ego melts into the whole. Thus, no one 'arrives' at a solution; the seeker and questions disappear. What matters is your own inner dissolution, not others' attainments.
Samadhi means you melt so much that the one who wanted answers is gone, so there is nothing left to solve or compare.
Why this matters practically
- Stop comparing gurus; turn attention to your own practice and dissolving ego-habits.
- Reduce anxiety by ending the chase for ultimate answers; rest in awareness where questions fade.
- Relate more kindly as the sense of a hard separate self softens.
