Edge of Objectivity
I was assigned to be a resident lineage guru in the astral existence, to substitute for Babaji and to answer questions and gave techniques for Lahiri. There is an astral place to the southwest where Yogeshwarananda has a residence for some students. Near that place but to the southeast, there is a place where some students of Babaji and Lahiri practice to finish the austerities.
Sometimes I check on those students who are in samadhi. Some of them do breath infusion because they can hear when I practice and feel that it is beneficial to fill their subtle forms with fresh pranic energy.
Some of these yogis are so far in the samadhi practice, that they have no awareness of the condition of the subtle body. On this day (August 8, 20210), Lahiri appeared. He came from the southwest. He pointed to several yogis who were in trance states. One by one, he would say,
Wake him.
Bring him out.
Do not allow him to remain in samadhi for more than two days.
Call him out or he will be transformed into an embryo.
Keep them on this side, on the edge of objectivity. Every so often, every twenty-four hours or a little more,
He explained further, “Those who go in without a purpose or who go in with one but who do not have deep determination to support their wish, will again be embryos. It will be as if the yogi went into samadhi, died and then found himself as an embryo somewhere.”

This is an important post. It is repeated here because it is an alert. Suppose you are transporting a bomb which has a sensitive detonator. Of course you would be a fool to drop it. But what would be the fault, if a senior officer told you twice that it is to be transported with great care?
We have to surmise that whatever effort we invest, that will pay off ultimately but not necessarily at the moment or when desired. It is hard to estimate when this self or any other will be liberated. Still the endeavor should be made.
Those of us who do meditation carelessly and even those who oversimplify the process, should take care to realize that nirvikalpa samadhi or aimless motivation-less observation-less absorption of higher states of consciousness may not result in liberation but may cause one to circle back into being a baby.
In that condition who can say that one will maintain the self-realization format as did other great yogis. So, what is it?
Is it into nirvikalpa mahasamadhi and then nothing?
Or is it nirvikalpa mahasamadhi and then something sublime?
Or will be nirvikalpa mahasamadhi and then beginning all over again with no identity but with the parents calling one as Kirpal or Kirpalani?
