Can a spiritual charlatan manipulate people?
A spiritual charlatan can manipulate a handful of people or even millions of people into believing he has attained liberation. It is common to find a list of enlightened people on someone’s website. But most people have not advanced far enough along the spiritual path to ascertain another person’s spiritual state.
What are the different types of enlightened people?
There are different types of enlightened people based on their level of spiritual responsibility. In my first book Into the Formless I categorize them as: world saviors, avatars, and realized souls. A world savior incarnates periodically, every 700 to 1,400 years.
Are there any spiritual teachers that are still alive?
If a spiritual teacher is currently living and is not on this list, there is a good reason. Anandamayi Ma was a modern spiritual teacher who dropped the body in 1982. In the photos of Anandamayi Ma, she is often absorbed in ecstatic bliss. Her teachings emphasize walking the spiritual path in daily life.
What are some examples of spiritual practice?
Some examples of effective spiritual practices are kriya yoga, self-enquiry, or focusing on the present moment. A useful spiritual practice is invaluable. Yet there is much more that a spiritual master can teach you.
