Quote:There is an experience that my teacher and Gopi Krishna went through that both described and tradition described as the highest experience a person in a body could attain. It was the result of certain meditations and both agreed it was as if seeing the earth as a grain of sand on an ocean of energy.
I've come to think of a hierarchy of spiritual experiences like this as something uniquely Vedic.
I don't know that seeing the world as a grain of sand in an ocean of energy is really better than chopping wood. Chopping wood is a fine experience.
Not that you have or haven't, it's just that the idea that a certain experience is somehow "higher" than another, seems arbitrary.
Is it correct that all you have to do is glow at a certain frequency, and you're done? Is there an experience that is somehow more holy than another?
What is the bigest leap we can possibly take?
