THE POTENT PERSONALITY OF THE SUBTLE BODY

Majority of world humanity accept things, events etc only if they can be
perceived by the 5 gross senses (ear, eye, nose, tongue, skin). Hence when
they undergo miraculous incidences as mentioned previously they realize
unfailingly that there exist those experiences which are beyond the limited
ken of human imagination. Thus they too start accepting that within the
deep cave of man’s soul lie potent powers which are albeit latent as of now
and that they are subtly conjoined to the Divine Cosmic Consciousness
called God by laymen. When those rare human beings contact this Cosmic
Consciousness with the help of a sacred/focused psyche he/she starts
manifesting Divine Powers that can be tangibly experienced by others. As
mentioned previously when the Italian priest Ligadri awakened from his
deep trance others present were simply wonderstruck! It goes without
saying that the underlying principle of this inner conscious state cannot be
explained on the basis of the scientific laws unearthed by great modern
scientists at this point in time.

Today man executes various bodily and professional functions with the help
of his ordinary gross conscious power. This is very much in the realm of the
5 gross sense organs. Beyond this gross state lies a subtle state of
consciousness (subtle body) which is infinitely more powerful than our
sense organ perception. With the help of the subtle body we can create apt
situations and transformations in the subtle world. Just as the potency of
the subtle world is infinitely more than that of the gross world so too is the
case with their power and energy manifestation; meaning, that subtle
powers are much more potent than gross powers. Not only are they as
speedy as the movement of man’s thoughts but they help us pin point the
unknown invisible world along with unknown invisible & subtle objects. The
powers of the subtle body conjoined to the subtle world are so far known
very barely. And yet the data based proof of these on unearthing show that
they are no less miraculous. It further proves that within man’s psyche lies
an infinite storehouse of Divine Powers/Potentials albeit in a latent state;
meaning they need to be awakened.

Following is an incident that took place in Ireland. Over here lived a married
couple called Butler. Almost daily Mrs. Butler saw a building in a vivid dream
at night and it was surrounded by gardens all around. In this dream she
would whirl around in the building. Not only was Mrs. Butler well versed
with the external architecture of the building but she knew every nook and
corner of its interiors too. Daily she would talk about this dream based
building to her family and friends. Despite this her family etc would take all
this as a big joke and topic of humor.
One day the Butlers had to leave for London. There they started looking for
a good place for residing. While they were driving in their car Mrs. Butler
was amazed to see one particular building. She told her husband: This is the
very building I see in my dreams daily.

Now even her husband was rightly curious. He stopped the car. They
enquired about this building and were later told that it is vacant and up for
sale. Mrs. Butler opined: If we buy this house it will be great for our future.

The Butlers met an agent and told him about their interest in buying that
building. The agent explained: It is best you do not buy that building. I will
show you much better places of residence. See here are their details.
Choose any one of them and we can seal the deal. But please do not go in
for the building you just spoke of. This is because the building is visited by
ghosts.

And yet for Mrs. Butler this particular building was very close to her soul.
She insisted on buying that house. Hence the agent led her to the building’s
landlord. But when the landlord saw her the he ran away crying aloud:
Ghost! Ghost!

Since the agent was from the same city he knew the landlord very well.
Hence the agent went to meet the landlord. There he saw the latter
shivering with fright. All the family members of the landlord too had now
gathered there. They had no clue as to what was the problem. The agent
told him that the Butlers had come to buy the house. The agent explained
that the Butlers were working in a particular company and that they
certainly were not “ghosts”! Now the landlord spoke: We had to leave that
house and come here. Of course! We preferred to reside in our previous
house. The present house we had taken on rent only but we stay here
because in the house we own appeared a female ghost who would whirl
round and round frighteningly! My family members were scared merely on
listening to her dance like loud foot steps. From afar they had seen this lady
ghost barely a couple of times and felt that she was just aimlessly roaming
around in our house. I personally tried to see this ghost clearly. Since I saw
her again and again I am sure how this female ghost looks. I am sure it was
your self Mrs. Butler! Initially I tried speaking to you because there was not
much that could frighten me. No doubt I was dumbstruck as to how you
entered my locked house at night. I thought of reprimanding you but
whenever I said something it just did not register in your ears. It appeared
as though you could not hear anything. Thus I became very scared.
Henceforth whenever you reappeared we saw it as a sign of danger. Before
you could (in your ghost form) attack us we thought it prudent to leave that
house and live in this present rented one.
Mrs. Butler was simply amazed to hear all this! She said: I definitely saw
your home in my dream and yet could not fathom the reason behind that
dream vision. Now the fear in the landlord’s psyche disappeared but a new
problem arose. He strongly felt that there was some mysterious connection
between his house and Mrs. Butler. Hence he sold his house to Mrs. Butler
charging a very minimal sum.

A similar event took place in the lives of 2 American citizens in 1963 A.D.
One was called Tet and the other was Wilmut. They were travelling by ship.
Midway in the ocean their ship had to face a deadly storm. The ship swayed
perilously. Wilmut was fast asleep while Tet was seated.

Suddenly Tet was dumbstruck. Their cabin door was locked and yet he saw a
female standing at the door wearing a gown. Tet saw in amazement that the
lady was serene and a bit embarrassed. Hence he was not so scared enough
to shout aloud. Tet silently gazed at this intruder.

Slowly this woman wearing a gown walked towards the sleeping Wilmut. She
was a bit flustered with Tet’s presence. She passed a loving hand on
Wilmut’s scalp and said something which Wilmut failed to hear. Suddenly
she walked back to the door. From there she disappeared completely! Even
now their cabin door was locked from inside. Tet stared at the door wide
eyed in sheer wonderment.

As soon as that woman intruder vanished Wilmut got up from sleep looking a
bit flustered. He had apparently seen a dream wherein his wife came to
him. His dream wife lovingly placed her hand on his scalp and said
something which Wilmut failed to understand. Immediately he woke up and
saw Tet seated in the cabin. Tet described what had happened while Wilmut
was dreaming. Wilmut exclaimed: This is exactly what I saw in my dream!
Realizing that what Tet had actually seen was dreamt by him self, Wilmut
said to him self: Definitely this incident has a deep import. It could be that
my wife (far away from him) was ill.

Until Wilmut managed to reach home he was full of worry. As soon as he

reached home he saw his wife attending to the daily chores very serenely.
Later Wilmut spoke to his wife about that strange dream and incident which
took place on the ship. His wife replied: On that very fateful night I heard
news on the radio that a great storm was raging in the Atlantic Ocean. This
set me worrying about your safety. All the while I thought about you and by
and by I went to sleep. While dreaming I cannot decipher how but I entered
a ship which was traveling midway in the ocean. In one cabin of the ship I
saw you sleeping. In this cabin I saw one more person but he was awake
unlike you who were sleeping. I was a bit apprehensive to see this other
man. And yet I stood by your bedside and lovingly placed my hand on your
head. I asked you about your well being. Immediately I woke up from my
dream in our house. Now Wilmut was absolutely astounded because his
wife’s dream, his own dream on the ship and the scene witnessed by his
friend Tet on the ship were absolutely identical.

The above incidents definitely tell us that mere superficial curiosity is not
enough. The need of the hour is to delve deep into its intricacies. Assuming
that these incidences were the result of transport of thought waves we
could label them under the category of ‘Telepathy’. And yet it is clear that
the above events are much more subtle than telepathy. This is because in
this case not only thoughts but the very inner personality/psyche of
individuals had crossed all national borders so as to travel in mid ocean.
Later like a ‘word-arrow’ it had returned too. Just as birds leave their nest
for far off places and then return to it so too the psyche/personality too
reached a far off place and an individual there. After the mission was
completed the psyche left the ship to return to its far off home away from
the Atlantic Ocean.

The above activity cannot be executed via the known principles of the gross
material world and their methods. The physical body of Wilmut’s wife was
very much in America and it was only her inner personality/psyche that had
traveled to the ship sailing midway in the Atlantic Ocean. The same holds
true for Mrs. Butler’s experience where her physical body was in one place
and that her subtle psychic body traveled to a far off place. The gross body
in one place and the subtle body traveling to a far off place were identical
as far as their form and appearance were concerned. Thus it is crystal clear
that the above incidences have to be attributed to the great potential of our
subtle bodies and it in turn follows laws of the subtle world (Sookshma
Jagat).

Thousands of years back great Indian Seers (Rishi/Munis) were well aware of
this great divine potential (latent) in every human being’s soul. They have
elucidated these divine potentials and energies in great detail. Further they
have thrown light on how to activate these Divine Powers too. As an
exception some rare world individuals manifest these Divine Potentials with
fair ease simply because in their past lives they had accumulated them with
painstaking efforts. In some other cases loving divine grace from a great
realized saint can activate these powers in a devotee whose psyche is
spiritually ripe and mature. Else for the rest they must execute spiritual
practices like Yoga, meditation, devotion etc to activate these latent Divine
Powers. Of course those rare individuals who activate these powers
relatively swiftly due to grace are not well documented and hence lesser
known. A point to be noted is that these rare souls are generally unaware of
how to utilize these Divine Powers for welfare of the world. As against these
individuals an aspirant of Yoga who makes due spiritual efforts to activate
these latent powers is much more capable of utilizing them for world
welfare at will. This is because Yoga aspirants are very much in contact with
subtle divine centers that manifest Divine Powers in man’s psyche sacred
and focused psyche.

In Tantra Science (of Indian origin) spiritual practices pertaining to a

“Chhaya-Purusha” (shadow man) has been described minutely. This
“shadow man” is a subtle bodied living being and is part and parcel of every
individual. When we activate this “shadow man” we are actually
manifesting one more subtle body whom we can direct to act in a particular
manner; meaning this “shadow man” on activation is always at our beck and
call. It is like a living ghost and has Extra Sensory Potentials (ESP) like any
ghost. A great Yogi has that excellent capacity of carrying out varying tasks
simultaneously with the help of his/her activated subtle body. Without
exception every world denizen possesses this all powerful subtle body and
yet it remains latent because not all of have that giant capacity to activate
it. Those exceptionally gifted individuals who manage to work hard in
activating Divine Powers not only become masters of this “shadow man” but
become knower of the divine laws of the subtle world too. In addition to all
this their intellectual and sensitive/sentimental (Bhava) potentials of the
mind too become limitless. No longer will their thinking be narrow-minded.
Instead their sacred mission becomes creation of “A BEAUTIFUL
BORDERLESS WORLD”.

Today latest modern scientific research too is slowly but surely proving the
existence of a subtle body apart from the gross body made up of bones,
flesh, blood etc. Right from the year 1963 A.D. Modern science has carried
out successful research studies and experiments in this direction. A Western
electron microscope specialist called Samyon Kirliyan with the help of his
scientist wife Valentina invented a special photography technique. This
scientific apparatus helped photograph subtle vibrations around all living
beings and also their bodily energy based activities.

In another experiment the Kirliyan couple took a photograph of an ill lady. It

was seen that the aura of light particles was quite withered and very soon it
disappeared. In one more research study the Kirliyan couple photographed
every bodily part of a male. Close up photographs of the neck, heart and
stomach area depicted very subtle ‘blots’. The latter were nothing but
electrical energy emitted from those bodily parts. These shadow pictures
were studied scientifically and after that it was concluded unanimously that
every creature/living being possesses 2 bodies. The first one is seen by our
gross eyes and is the physical body made of flesh, blood etc. The second is
the subtle body which has all potentials of the gross body but cannot be
seen by our gross eyes. Modern day scientists opine that the subtle body
comprises of those subtle principles which in comparison to the speed of
movement of the electrons of the gross body moves infinitely more swiftly.
Scientists proclaim that this subtle body of any creature can separate itself
from its gross body and move about anywhere in the world.

Apart from Russia great scientists of USA too are conducting a lot of
research in this area. State University of New York has actually opened a
separate department for Parapsychology research studies and its head is Dr.
Robert Bafer. A major class of world humanity believes only what their gross
eyes perceive in this material world of name and form and hence spend
their entire precious lives in merely amassing material wealth and comforts
so as to attain joy. They fail to realize that if only they pay due heed to the
existence of their subtle body so as to nourish and awaken it, so much more
can be gained in life which would be labeled nothing short of an
extraordinary miracle. This is because now man will not only augment his
material life but will aptly nourish his spiritual life so as to lead a life of
overall prosperity. Indian Spirituality has already taken giant steps in this
area. It goes without saying that ancient India which thrived on citizens
with pure taintless characters was but the result of laying great emphasis on
deep spiritual and human values (integrity, commitment, loyalty, sense of
world well being etc.).
