Hello Saurabh@2110.
In my opinion, you describe the cultivation of Anariya Jhana. Anariya Jhana is a taste of the rupa and arupa realms. Even if one could deepen their concentration to the point of being able to cut off limbs without feeling anything, that would still not be proof.
How can one free oneself from the 10 fetters (Samyojana) through breath meditation??????🙄
- Belief in a permanent self (sakkāya-diṭṭhi)
- Skeptical doubt (vicikicchā)
- Attachment to mere rules and rituals (sīlabbata-parāmāsa)
- Sensual desire (kāma-rāga, kāmacchando)
- Hostility (vyāpāda, byāpādo)<br />
————–(The following are the 5 higher fetters)—————— - Desire for fine material existence (rūpa-rāga)
- Desire for immaterial existence (arūpa-rāga)
- Pride (māna)
- Restlessness (uddhacca)
- Ignorance (avijjā)
Consider which of these points is suppressed by concentration on the breath, and which ones do not arise again after meditation.… 🙏🙏🙏
