Awakened Soul

The Power of the Elevated Souls

Only a few of us have been able to attain enlightenment.  It is the possibility of the cosmic awareness and oneness of energy to merge with the source.  It is possible but needs continuous focus, contemplation, and spiritual practices along with complete faith. 

One of the most impressive things I have learned about highly spiritual souls is that they do not have to die.  Yes, you might be surprised to hear that and may not even believe it. The fact is that these mystics and enlightened souls enter into what is called "samadhi," a final meditative session in which they leave their bodies willingly after they accomplish the task they have come to do. 

There are such samadhi spots all across the pilgrimage and holy sites in the world, mostly South Asia that has thousands of years of spiritually accomplished souls inhabiting and sharing the deepest knowledge about the universe itself.  I live in the foothill in the Himalayan region of Nepal, and there is a temple with a folklorish story associated with it.  There are a couple of samadhis of the priests who used to take care of the temple, which is also an energy center. 

The story about that priest is linked to a renowned Guru called the Pilot Baba, who was serving in the Indian Army.  In the 1962 War with China, he lost control of his MIG and was helpless enough to fear a certain collision. At that moment, Hari Baba, the priest from this Trikhandi Temple, appeared in the cockpit and helped him escape death, with the promise that he would give up this path and adopt the spiritual one.  Hari Baba vanished once they both got off the cockpit to the astonishment of all the people in the airport.  It was after many years of search that Pilot Baba located Hari Baba in his temple. 

Such stories of unbelievable incidents are the normal aspect of spirituality.  It may seem impossible for other ordinary individuals to seek such elevated status and perform miraculous feats, however, it is an opportunity that is available to every individual born on this planet. An avatar has said that the purpose of our life is to realize that we are all divine. Spirituality is the path to that highest station of creation.
