My experiences of absolute fana or samadhi is that it helps one to self-control: to choose an end and then use his or her mind and action to achieve it, without distraction of pleasure or discomfort.
One gains the capacity to make efforts toward an end he chose and is able to overcome all kinds of challenges. Such state appears to be subject to decay and thus requires re-charging, jus as smartphone does.
Frequent absolute fana or samadhi might be needed to labor immensely for the purpose of achieving chosen ends. This certainly require efforts; desirable qualities, we ought to remember, follow efforts.
Devotional prayers to some, appears to have similar effect and not on others.
Reflections on Karma and Kasb
Whatever we do, the emphasis is on action, produces an effect of some sort. On the basis of this effect, we either gain rewards or punishment.
This appears to be the essence of Kasb or Karma theory.
Action, however, is preceded by desire for an end, plan of some sort and subsequent action that implies some sort of forethought.
Some people say this too has karimic or Kasbic implications because it is the cause of the action, not necessarily. Forethought does not cause action. sometimes, forethought is present and no action follows. The subject chooses to act and then acts. That is it.
There is some reasons to think that what goes in person's head has karmic or kasbic implications: when one assumes others up to some sort of relevant good, one generally feels or thinks about pleasure, the opposite case is of pain.
This does not mean this: one ought not prepare for the worst, one ought to do that, but to assume so, inclines one to become subject to self-fulfilling prophesy.
Similarly, when one identifies desired end, and then extends efforts to attain it, one generally feels good, even though initially it may be difficult, invariably It is so.
