It will be hard for any outsider to know. This text, I just found on
the net is instructive:
"The nondual state of Nirbija-samadhi is often upheld as the ultimate
state. However, nonduality is the polar opposite of duality. it is
therefore also a function of duality. Liberation is going beyond
duality to transcendental awareness. Here the nonduality of duality,
the duality of nonduality are experienced and transcended. This
requires the cleansing process of dharma-megha-samadhi , where this
conundrum is dramatically manifest. Nirbija-samadhi is NOT the result
of accomplished practice. It only occurs within practice when there is
spontaneous surrender of the practice and practiser, which depends on
the orientation underlying practice. This results more and more
frequently from exhaustion of the misplaced faith in the activities
available to the will, which in turn strengthens the orientation to
surrender. Nirbija-samadhi is a natural progression from
sabija-samadhi once the sense of self has begun to lose its power. It
often occurs spontaneously in life as a result of the direct and open
spaciousness cultivated in the mind by practice."

The text goes on: "DHARMAMEGA: "Cloud of Dharma." In the very last
section of the Yogasutra: within the Kaivalya Pada it describes a
condition immediately preceding kaivalya itself called
dharma-mega-samadhi. Accordingly, the text infers dharma-mega-samadhi
contains and encompasses all that can be known, just as a cloud fills
the sky. And just as rain quenches the thirsting earth, so this
"cloud" pours down the rain of the Dharma and exstinguishes the raging
fire of all kinds of instability."
Reminds me of the description of Brahman as that by which everything
else becomes known.
Tom T:
Exactly. Like that, like that.
