Spirits
The nature of spirits and the power of spiritual purity to liberate them.
We are like living ghosts, visible yet entangled. Invisible spirits are often attached, neither fully here nor gone, and can be sensed. They can be liberated through prayer and compassionate offerings, which are acts for your own benefit. A story tells of a master of black magic who could not summon ghosts in the presence of his pure disciple. The mere proximity of that spiritually realized person freed them instantly. Therefore, your own cultivated purity holds that same power. By engaging in practice, mantra, and keeping a sacred focus, you purify the space around you. You have received this purifying energy through dedicated practice, satsang, and shared sacred atmosphere. This divine intoxication can fade when you return to worldly life, so you must continually renew it through repetition and return.
"Where there are humans, there is colorful māyā, beauty. Where there are trees, there is nice, cool shade."
"As soon as they saw your disciple, they were liberated."
