They reach the point where they feel, I can go into samadhi now. I can do everything on my own, and that's exactly where they stay, in the lower samadhis. There are many, many people on this earth who can go into salvakalpa samadhi.

At the end of meditation period we always bow and we touch our head to the floor and say Buddha's name be praised.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If you must go to a negative place of power, go to them in a very conservative way. You must go to them when your power is up. It is like going to war. You have got to be ready if you are going to survive.

Image
The universe is always ecstasy and it's always perfect, but we don't perceive it that well. If we keep doing our yoga in every lifetime, we perceive it more correctly.

Put a smile on your face. Don't sit in the waiting room of life. Go do something, happily.
