Limitation of samadhi

Samadhi of any kind is a state. It begins at a certain time.It has avalue over aperiod of time. At the end of the period it subsides.This kind of a beginning followed by a certain duration and further marked by a full termination is what is called samadhi. or a state or avastha.since samadhi is a state or avastha, the seeker cannot carry it with him all the time. To be in samadhi, he has to be away from all other states. Activity is a state. inactivity is also a state. Experience is also a state. so too non experience is also a state. if he has to be in samadhi ,he should be away from all these, in this light what can samadhi mean and what place of importance it can claim in assessment of reason?If samadhi is our goal, then we cannot continue with life movements.We have to refuse the normal life and activities if we want samadhi, as the two are in mutual opposition. Thus only spiritual pursuit will have to be viewed as  standing in full opposition to it.Finally Vedanta vichara alone works if you want to the supreme truth.
