Arwinder, what it is to be a spirit?

 

Dear All,

 

In the late afternoon two days ago on 9-27-2006 i took Arwinder, my

16-year-old son, to the clinic as he had some skin rash. While

waiting for the doctor i decided to ask him about the spirit as he

had told me earlier that his visits into his Sahasrara were now

getting less. In other words, as he was maturing he was meeting the

Divine Mother less frequently. (Lalita also has been telling me the

same for some time now.) That is why i decided to ask him about the

spirit as i was having some difficulty understanding what it is to be

a spirit? Since Arwinder meets the Adi Shakti in the Sahasara in his

spirit form I expected facts based on firsthand experience:

 

i asked him if you can cross and pass one hand through the other or

for example across the neck. He replied that you can, and even pass

through fellow spirit beings or any obstacle for the matter.

 

ii) so if you can cross the hands and pass them through each other

how was it possible to sit on Shri Durga's tiger? Arwinder replied

that the spirit can assume any form to do any task. If the intention

of your spirit is to sit on a tiger you will – the spirit just does

that effortlessly.

 

iii) is it possible to feel one's heartbeat? In the first place, does

one have a heart? Arwinder said a spirit has no heart or any internal

organ for the matter.

 

iv) can the spirit assume any form? Arwinder confirmed that it can.

The spirit can experience anything it desires - an insect, tree,

animal, human being, mountain, ocean ......... even an entire planet

or galaxy. It can contract into the smallest size or expand into the

largest. But he clarified that one is always conscious of being the

spirit. In other words, while experiencing being an ocean you are

always conscious that you are still a spirit. Thus from a ocean you

can easily become an entire galaxy, but at all times ever conscious

of being a spirit. This consciousness of being spirit is always

there.

 

v) so what is the spirit form at all times? What are you when you

walk or sit? Arwinder said being the spirit and walking is like

experiencing the wind. He said as a human it is really difficult to

explain/understand this experience as there is nothing similar to it.

The wind is the best he can come up with as the form of spirit is not

solid.

 

vi) do you sit in front of the Adi Shakti at all times when you meet

Her in the Sahasrara? He replied that there are times when She is not

there but that does not mean anything as She is always present in Her

invisible form and knows when you are meditating. All you need to do

is meditate, whether She is before you or not. The point he was

trying to make is that meditation should not be confined to Her

actual presence in the Sahasrara because She is everywhere, within

and without! Everything is Shakti.

 

Later the same evening i had a deep meditation that was full of

vibrations and bliss. This continued into yesterday (and today too).

There is something about the knowledge that brought forth this state

of mind.

 

But I had forgotten to ask Arwinder one question – did he actually

experience being a tree or insect?

 

Yesterday, as i went with him to get his contact lenses, i asked if

he actually experienced being a tree or mountain, since he was so

sure. He replied he never had experienced being a tree or mountain.

Naturally I asked, " So how do you know? " Arwinder replied that the

Adi Shakti had given and explained this knowledge to him. Then did he

ask Her to explain about the spirit? Arwinder replied that he never

asked but the Divine Mother explained about the spirit on Her own

accord. In fact She had over the years enlightened him about a number

of spiritual issues.

 

i asked why he did not tell about spirit before? Arwinder replied he

was never asked. Neither did he offer to spill out the remaining

knowledge the Adi Shakti had given him. (The only time he did so was

more than a decade ago when on August 9, 1995 he declared that he

meditates with the Adi Shakti, and explained his experiences in

detail. He was five.) Maybe that knowledge will be revealed as and

when necessary and i have no desire to extract it yet. The Shakti has

Her own way of making that happen.

 

Now i know why over the past two days i am having deep meditations

that are full of bliss and vibrations. It is because the knowledge

of " spirit " is coming directly from the eternal Shri Lalita Devi who

resides in all Sahasraras. It is knowledge that the Divine Mother

wants humans to know. Aham Brahma Asmi (I am Brahman) and Tat Twam

Asi (That Thou Art) makes more sense now. i now want to be Silent for

a few days to savour this Divine Nectar from Brahman Herself.

 

Jai Shri Ganapathi,
