How Many of Your Devotees Attained Samadhi?

[An Advaita follower asked: How many of Your devotees attained Samadhi (4^th, 5^th, 6^th or 7^th)?]

Swami replied: Samadhi means determination, which is complete and firm throughout the life. The absence of the word Nirvikalpa shows that you refer to the faith on God, which is not subjected to hurdles. Such faith without hurdles is possible in the case of faith on statues and photos. Almost all the devotees in the world get this state of Samadhi. In My case, the devotees, who have attained Nirvikalpa Samadhi only remained with Me and the others were not retained by Me since My case is treated as contemporary Human incarnation by the devotees, who remained with Me.
