Very true, So important to acknowledge that no matter what attainments, they can be lost with wrong choices. I feel that there are different challenges inherent to different stages of life. Certain samkaras of attachment may be much stronger in some stages than in others. So if I feel quite transcendent of certain attachments now, it's always possible that the samskaras of those attachments could arise in another incarnation and another stage of life. So we should not rest on laurels.
@TheOverfiendDj No, in Samadhi, you do not leave your body as you do when experiencing physical death--though you could if you wished. Instead you merge your human consciousness with God's consciousness. Whether you keep a body or not is your (and God's) decision; and also you are free from the necessity to reincarnate again in any other body, at any future time.

Is Samadhi like experiencing death where the soul leaves the body for a short while and then comes back?
