The Nirvanic State

Hello Readers,


Here's a little on the Indian Holy men who are revered as perfect, from Valentin Tomberg's Inner Development.
He says that through the processes of Indian occultism which includes the rising of the kundalini through the crown chakra, a state of premature perfection is achieved and hence these men appear as perfect masters.

By entering the nirvanic (sanskrit: blown out - like a candle), what is imperfect in human nature will not be developed. A separation occurs, the cream - what is pure and holy in human nature - separates of from the imperfections. With this is renounced a "great ideal" of the future.

Quote:
"Thus every human soul stands at one time before the choice of becoming wonderfully holy or else at some time in the future - by working through many imperfections - of attaining a far off ideal, wherein all underdeveloped faculties implanted in human nature by the gods will come to fruition."
