Ghosts and Evil Spirits is a discourse given by Shrii Shrii Anandamurti on 1978 October 19 in Patna, India. This discourse is the seventeenth chapter of Ananda Vacanamrtam Part 3.[1]
Synopsis
Now what happens when a person sees some unnatural picture or unnatural image or unnatural being? One possibility I have already explained – it may be that a Tantric, with the help of his or her ectoplasmic structure, has created a body for a disembodied mind just to terrorize others. A Vidyá Tantric will not do these things, but an Avidyá Tantric may do so just to terrorize others, as they used to do in the past. After getting some money they would stop the practice.
Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that in many ancient scriptures such as the Yajurveda and Savitr Rk it has been said that a human being should ask Parama Purusa for a properly guided intellect and nothing more, that is to say an intellect guided toward bliss and universal welfare. Anandamurti then explains that the mind becomes purified through Sadhana and selfless service. On a meticulously neat mirror, one can get a better reflection of the supreme soul. Anandamurti goes on explaining that a purified mind is a phase in the movement toward our human goal. Self surrender and devotion is necessary for merging in God. That is the final stage of Spirituality.[1]
