patanjali was way ahead of his time to cover these four steps to Samadhi. Yes, I have elaborated about the concept of I am, but this is the hardest of four very tough steps to Samadhi. This is also a reason why only a handful of enlightened souls exist each century.
1:18 There is another plane of meditation where only the Samskara is left. Samskara is latent impression of the unconscious mind, which affects our natural tendencies, and molds our character.
