mastered through
Abhyasa: Cultivating the lifestyle, actions, speech, and thoughts, as well as the spiritual practices that lead in the positive direction.
Practice of choosing that which brings sthitau, or a stable state of tranquility.
To get a stable and solid foundation, the practice should be done for a long time, without a break, and with sincere devotion.
Vairagaya:Practice of gradually letting go of the mental colorings that lead one away from the spiritual.
Non-attachment is a process that evolves progressively as practice deepens. Eventually, it leads to a supreme non-attachment, Paravairagya, i.e., non-attachment even in relation to the most fundamental building blocks of all manifestation. This level of non-attachment comes through the direct experience of pure consciousness or purusha
Non-attachment is not detachment, suppression.
Everything between, i.e., non-attachment to pranic energy, the five elements, the senses, and the subtler aspects of mind.

Samprajnata Samadhi
Savichara: Subtle
Subtleties of matter, energy, senses, and the mind are, themselves, the objects of meditation, inquiry, and non-attachment.
Sananda: Bliss
emphasizes the still subtler state of bliss in meditation. In this state, the concentration is free from the gross and subtle impressions that were at the previous levels.
Savitarka: Gross
Concentration on any gross object while still accompanied with other activities of the mind, including meditation on sensory awareness, visualized objects, the gross level of breath, attitudes, syllables of mantra, or streams of conscious thought.
Sasmita: I-ness
focuses on I-ness, which is even subtler, as it relates to the I that is behind, or witness to all of the other experiences.
Asamprajnata Samadhi
The four stages all have an object to which attention is directed (samprajnata). Beyond these four is objectless concentration, where all four categories of objects have been released from attention (asamprajnata).
