*Seeded Samāpatti* is a state of limited and conditioned spiritual consciousness, where although the yogi has gradually expunged many distractions or impressions, he or she has not yet completely eliminated the lingering latent force (seed) resulting from his or her past karmas, thereby condemning himself or herself to the endless cycle of reincarnation.
