Guest guest Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Dear Yosy , Your poem mentions a very pertinent point .. " best ones remain hidden " . Some of us beleive that many " Siddhars " in their astral body are living among us , helping us in our spiritual evolution .. They work silently on us , especially when we are asleep !
