Yōga Sūtra 1.17

वितर्कविचारानन्दास्मितारूपानुगमात्सम्प्रज्ञातः।

vitarkavicārānandāsmitārūpānugamātsamprajñātaḥ।

[वितर्क विचार आनन्द अस्मिता रूप अनुगमात् संम्प्रज्ञातः।
vitarka = deliberation of logic; vicāra = deliberation of a topic; ānanda = happy; asmitā = awareness of 'I am'; rūpa = form; anugamāt = accompanied by; saṁmprajñātaḥ = equilibrium state with knowledge;]

Equilibrium states with form accompanied by knowledge are progressively: deliberation on logic (vitarka), deliberation on topic (vichāra), and happy awareness of 'I am' (ānanda asmita).

Among the equilibrium state with knowledge and form (samprajnāta samādi) deliberation on a topic is better than deliberation on logic, staying in the awareness of 'I am' with happiness is better than deliberation on topic.

ॐ असतो मा सद्गमय। तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय। मृत्योर्माऽमृतं गमय। ॐ शान्ति: शान्ति: शान्ति: ॥ - बृहदारण्यकोपनिषद् 1.3.28
"Ōm! Lead me from the unreal to the real, from darkness to light, and from death to immortality. Let there be peace, peace, and peace. Ōm!" - Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 1.3.28
