If one does reach nirvakalpa samadhi, it can only be held for a few hours or days at most, as it is such a high state of spirituality that it is believed the practitioner's soul could leave their body and pass over to the other side during nirvakalpa samadhi."

If someone has ever had an OBE and then left the mind also I feel that experience is close to what is being described but happens upon death in a natural way anyways except we are held too far back from it by our own entanglements weighing the soul down.
So holding samadhi vs liberating are two separate things, this quote seems to be pointing at that?
At the moment I have a Teacher who is purposely holding onto a few "karmic" things in order to remain here and has demonstrated the body goes into death mode if the samadhi is held too long, so there is a very interesting way this works. In order to even get to a samadhi point the internal currents of our energy body have to either be purposely altered or the channels have been cleared away enough to allow the Light in more. So it seems that being able to hold a samadhi without liberating means you purposely restrict your energy meridians until it is decided to just let go and leave.
It not necessarily a "high state" of spirituality that must be attained but rather seems it is something always there available to any human Being except it just has to be uncovered. So the work of uncovering it becomes the issue. Fascinating.
