Tanmayatva (तन्मयत्व) refers to “absorption with that (highest state)”, according to the Vivekamārtaṇḍa (verse 197-98).—Accordingly: “Just as [when] ghee has been poured into ghee, there is just ghee and [when] milk [has been poured] into milk [there is just milk], [so when] the Yogin [is absorbed in the highest reality,] there is just the highest reality. Like milk in milk, ghee in ghee (sarpis) and fire in fire, the Yogin who has dissolved into the highest state goes to absorption in it (tanmayatva)”.
