okay let's let's explore this idea what is happening look i've never agreed on i've never
tried any drugs so i have no clue what i'm talking about truly but what i suspect is happening is
what i can talk about so i must be very honest i've never tried any drugs myself so i don't know
but the the some of the scriptures that i subscribe to who talk with that talk about
meditation and spiritual experiences also mention that sometimes this is patanjali
yoga sutra it mentions that certain drugs can alter the state of your mind and give
you a deeper glimpse of nature of reality it does recognize it now why does it happen let me explain
if you are if one is successful in meditation genuinely i'm not talking all this gimmicky
stuff that you hear about or see the news or if you're one is genuinely successful in meditation
then at the time that person becomes enlightened in fact and use the word or enters into meditation
certain bodily changes actually take place certain physical changes accompany
a spiritual experience they are not disjointed you look the body mind all strongly or interrelated
so when an individual get gains a spiritual experience certain activities do occur in the
physical being his physical frame now these are to do with some of the activities in your brain etc
i mean you know some people say the alpha waves the beta waves kind of get a different
rhythm or whatever but there are certain physical changes taking place accompany serious meditation
now what can happen look i'm suppose i'm just giving i'm speculating on these issues it must
be very honest what i suspect happens when you take certain drugs i have no idea which ones
is that the same physical changes that occurred when you are successful in meditation are induced
in you artificially so when you take certain drugs some metabolism some kind of activity in the brain
is modified and that is similar to the modification that occurs naturally when
you succeed in meditation so what it does is this is really putting the card before the horse
the idea is that you enter the state of deep meditation and at that point in that process
some bodily changes take place is unavoidable but that's perfectly fine but what you're doing
is otherwise you're bringing the bodily changes hoping to gain a deeper insight into reality
see the card before the horse the soul is dangerous when you put the card before the horse
because what what you are doing is you are wrecking your physical system your physical being
in some manner whereby you get a glimpse of deeper reality now as this has not been achieved through
serious discipline as i said you require serious discipline and meditating day and night all that
as this has been acquired without serious discipline the way you can never truly
appreciate the level of experience so you're just getting a free sample of spiritual experience so
remember the word free samples are never free they come at a heavy price that's why you are
given free samples when you buy that magazine or something because then you get hooked the same
thing happens with this if you like drug induced meditation or drug induced spiritual experience
because you had a deeper glimpse that was very thrilling you can't really even interpret it
because you're not you're physical you're mentally you're not ready to to in a way interpret what you
experience but you just had a glimpse of a deeper which was very thrilling very exciting you get
hooked on it you can't interpret it you can't really relate to it but you are hooked to it
so what you do is you continue to take more and more drugs to get yourself into that state
and now you are doing tremendous harm to your physical being and you are mentally
not at all geared up to in a way interpret this experience at all so you are in a mass
in no time that individual becomes you know seriously disjoint joined jointed i would
say and he cannot relate to relate to the ordinary reality with this drug-induced reality and he soon
becomes schizophrenic a lot of cases they become schizophrenic they don't know what is happening
to them look i'm talking about the serious drugs that can do tremendously i'm not talking about
this kind of mild i don't know the difference by the way the mild drug parents which will just
give a little bit of a boo you know kind of like a you know mental cake like caffeine like coffee
whatever cook the thing is so coca-cola be very careful cochlear find something quite different so
what i'm saying is this rather than you see what i would prescribe or i would suggest is to
go through the serious disciplines and enjoy this kind of marvelous spiritual experience that comes
in a natural mode and when you enter the state it is done if you like at your at your with your
control under your control so you are a master through in the whole process you are not at the
mercy of drug induced you know kind of glimpses so you are your own master you can interpret that
experience in this true majesty and live with that experience in in in a genuine manner well
if it is done artificial means the cart before the horse you are going to end up in a serious
you know in no time going to end up in a serious problem because you can no longer relate to the
reality in front of you and it becomes addictive and in no time your whole personality will crumble
crumble so it's really the issue of getting the whole if you're getting the the perspective right
it it's important to put in the severe disciplines then get that experience of meditation
and whatever bodily changes take place so be they don't get in your way and you are not
you know addicted to trying to get those bodily changes that by the way their secondary phenomena
so i think this is an important thing this is nice for us to in a way the people who take
drugs are always trying to understand why they're getting this marvelous psychedelic experience
and in a way to give them this deeper insight that comes from the religious or spiritual angle
is useful because now they are told what you experience even you could not truly appreciate
this is marvelous but telling you this much more to you than you ever thought so rather
than use this kind of artificial ploy to get into the state why don't you take on the severe
discipline that is required so that you can enter the state at your own pace and make sense of it
and live with that experience in his true majesty and enhance your life and the life of everybody
who comes across that you come across that is the right way of doing it so i'm saying put the horse
before the card and then you are safe that's very interesting so whilst some of the physiological
feelings and emotional feelings may be similar what you're saying is that the drug-induced way
is transient it's damaging it doesn't last whereas the spiritual way if done properly
it's very hard work but the the june is more wonderful and the the end result is much more
inspiring and more permanent absolutely look have you seen suppose this is taking drugs a spiritual
experience have you seen any buddhas coming out of this period this kind of drug in your state
they will become schizophrenic and crash so if you if you do this if you you know tackle this issue
in this particular manner in this structured manner then the the price that awaits you is a
very grand prize you become prophet of humanity and if you take on this other way you end up in
a rehabilitation center somewhere it's a big difference so it's best to kind of take on a
serious discipline in a structured manner and turn into a prophet of humanity rather than become a
