Spiritual Healing

“There are many methods of healing.  The spiritual one is creating the energy within oneself and then using that energy to help other people, by recitation of the mantra.  Everyone of you is a particle of God: and you’ve got a tremendous potential to develope this energy, and this is the best use you can make of it.  Develope your own energy and use it for the benefit of others.”

                                    (from Guruji's Discourses in the book: From Humanity to Divinity)

This indicates that there are different ways of energetic healing which are claimed to be spiritual healing.  The energetic forms of healing use symbols and other energies, even from souls of the lower astral world, and by that they only remove symptoms from the aura and reach a temporary healing.  Since the karma is still there, and the symptoms which are meant to help us to attain consciousness are removed, our spiritual development is blocked.  That is why Jesus said.  “Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’  And I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you, depart from me, you who practise lawlessness.” (Math.7,22-23).  From the spiritual point of view, one must be warned against these forms of healing.

Guruji says, “Spiritual healing involves destruction of karma, or, shall we say, finishing of karmas or taking on karmas.  Taking on karmas means that if I am healing, I am taking on the karmas.  It also involves taking on the disease of the person yourself.  So first of all, if you want the permanent cure, then you have got to take the karma on.  Secondly, if you want the permanent cure, you have got to take the disease on.  This is the real spiritual healing.

When Guruji does the healing, He strengthens the spiritual energy within us.  But how does this process happen?  The Master teaches us Pranayam (breathing exercises) and meditation, and through these exercises, we ourselves start developing our energy.  The difficulties we meet generally depend on our karma.  With the spiritual healing, there is further transmission of energy from Master to disciple, and Guruji takes upon himself part of our karma and burns it.  At the same time – and this is the main goal of spiritual healing – He helps us to strengthen the divine energy within us, so that we can dissolve our remaining karma

In fact, through the breathing exercises and meditation, the Kundalini becomes increasingly stronger.  And the stronger it becomes, the more purified the chakras will become.  It is a process of metamorphosis that arises from our inner self and takes us to a rising consciousness.  Thus, with the spiritual healing, Guruji helps the activation of Kundalini, so that our karma is burned and the healing takes place on the highest level: through the liberation from karma.

What is the purpose of life?  It is to go back to our essence, to our original true state.  It is not our authentic condition to stay in a body.  Our Truth is to identify with our soul.  And the soul wants to return to unity with God, to merge into God.  This unified state with God is our Truth and the body represents only the means that can help us in our return journey.  This is healing - removing karma in order to become divine again, in other words to merge into God.

So, all people who get spiritual healing will experience a healing process, some of them even physically.
