The ‘four’ strong signs of a spiritually enlightened being.

Today as if there is a flood, a flood of spiritual Gurus, spiritual coaches, spiritual experts, apart from the ever growing industry of the spiritual Baba(s) & Maa(s).

And this is an indication that the society or the masses are desperate in seeking something. Something good of course! The main ingredient of any movement in this universe – whether good or bad, is ‘Faith’. If I have faith in something, what so ever it may be, I will certainly succeed in that endeavor. And that is the only reason, I really appreciate the mushrooming of the spiritual industry – ‘something’ which is doing ‘some’ good to someone.

As if the humanity is rising from a deep slumber of restlessness to a wakeful state. This is the first step. The second step is to raise the consciousness to a level, where these ‘mediatory concept’ of Spiritual-Coaches etc are no more needed. A child cannot be a child always. A child must grow up. A sapling cannot be sapling always and if it is not growing into a tree, then something is wrong, either with the gardener or the environment or in the DNA of the sapling. We all have to follow the same natural process of evolution – whether of the body, of the mind or of the soul.

Once Swami Vivekananda said, “ It is vain to preach against the use of symbols, and why should we preach against them? There is no reason why man should not use symbols. They have them in order to represent the ideas signified behind them. This universe is a symbol, in and through which we are trying to grasp the thing signified, which is beyond and behind. The spirit is the goal, and not matter. Forms, images, bells, candles, books, churches, temples, and all holy symbols are very good, very helpful to the growing plant of spirituality, but thus far and no farther. In the test majority of cases, we find that the plant does not grow. It is very good to be born in a church, but it is very bad to die in a church. It is very good to be born within the limits of certain forms that help the little plant of spirituality, but if a man dies within the bounds of these forms, it shows that he has not grown, that there has been no development of the soul.

There could be thousands of signs of a person who has grown spiritually. And basically there is nothing to judge, we everyone is the tiny wave in the ocean of super-consciousness.

Yet, if someone comes to you at midnight 12 o’clock and say “it is a bright and sunny day now!”, we should be able to distinguish with our wisdom, logic and consciousness.

From the eyes of the ordinary man, I see 4 simple signs, yet very profound and powerful, to distinguish the so called (self designated) spiritual gurus, coaches, teachers in the market from the “REAL ONE”.

1.  The eyes: The eyes (the white portion of the eye-ball, encircling the pupil) of a spiritually 

developed person has to be while or light sky blue. Just like the color of the eyes of a child. If you find it to be  orange, yellow or any other variation of red or of the above mentioned colors, just know, that the person is suffering from some disease – physical or mental.  And a diseased person cannot be spiritually enlightened in any way. Scientific logic : When one grows spiritually, the person tends to be in the theta state of mind,  where one is not disturbed by the external locus of control, that is, the worldly disturbance or turbulence. When you are completely relaxed, your eyes tend to be light blue, just like a child. Calmness is the first sign of a person who has entered the spiritual dimension.

  

2. Voice : This is a universal thumb rule. The voice of a spiritual person has to be deep and soothing. And that is the very quality, which mesmerize the masses, apart from other attributes. It is not possible that I have a husky, coarse and a rough tone of voice and I am spiritually expanded. This is a universal sign, which we can check with the people around us, who are spiritually matured. There is no exception, and in case you see an exception, beware!

3. Physically balanced:  Just tell me one thing, what is meant by Chakra Healing, Energy Healing, Pranic Healing etc?

Those terms simply means that the energy centers in our body are totally balanced, healthy and tuned – physically, psychologically and in the terms of Aura and our bio-electromagnetism. It is never possible that I am a “Chakra Healing Expert” and overweight?  I am a Pranic Healer and do not have control on my temperament. It is just IMPOSSIBLE that your body is un-balanced and you say that you are a spiritual coach or guru. Because just like, I cannot carry a pot-belly and claim myself to be an aerobic trainer, similarly, I should be totally balanced both physically and mentally, then only I can enter the spiritual dimension, else not!

4. Aura: This is a subconscious clue. The moment you enter into the aura field of a spiritually enlightened person, no words are required, no lectures, no techniques, practically nothing is required. A strange unknown force will attract you towards that person. The presence itself will be divine and you tend to go to a theta state of mind, a meditative state of mind. You need not try, you are drawn.

I am a layman, I do not know the technicalities of mantras, asanas and spirituality.  But I am a rational and an intelligent life created by the divine. Any clown in the name of faith, religion and spiritual jargons cannot make me blind, cannot cheat me anymore. Cannot play with my divinity, which is deep inside me. I am in the path of spiritual evolution. If I get a ‘real guru’, I will be grateful, even if I do not get one, I will still move ahead in the path of spiritual enlightenment because that is what we all are destined, irrespective of whoever or whatever we are right now!    

Traders and manipulators, please excuse. Now I know the 4 simple, yet universally proven signs to decide that you are Divine or just an ordinary person like me, taking me for granted!
