When, in meditation, the true nature of the object shines forth, not distorted by the mind of the perceiver, that is absorption (samadhi).
Source: English translation from The Heart of Yoga (T.K.V. Desikachar)
Soon the individual is so much involved in the object that nothing except its comprehension is evident. It is as if the individual has lost his own identity. This is the complete integration with the object of understanding [samadhi].

tad eva artha matra nirbhasam svarupa shunyam iva samadhih
Source: English translation of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali (Swami Jnaneshvara Bharati)
When only the essence of that object, place, or point shines forth in the mind, as if devoid even of its own form, that state of deep absorption is called deep concentration or samadhi, which is the eighth rung.
