Eight latent perfections & Spirituality

I am going to talk about something very intense today.

Below are eight latent perfections which a human can aspire to achieve to become spiritual

1. ANIMA- The power of becoming as small as one wishes. One has to ready to sacrifice all the EGO; the I, me, myself, and mine.

2. LAGHIMA- The power of becoming as light as one wishes. One has to leave all the vices, ego, arrogance, and become light without any expectation

3. PRAPTI- The power of obtaining anything desired. One who has the strength to leave anything will have the willingness to work hard to get anything desired.

4. PRAKAMYA- The irresistible will. One who develops strong will power.

5. MAHIMA- The ability to become as large as one wishes through wisdom and good deeds.

6. ISHITWA- The attribute of supreme greatness

7. VASHITWA- Capacity to suppress one's desires and passions which are for material things

8. KAMAVASAYITA- The ability to fulfill all one's spiritual wishes for the greater good.

These eight latent perfections are very similar to the eight paths of enlightenment mentioned in Buddhist philosophy.

All the above qualities are latent in all of us. Only a few of us can understand and invoke any of those. Even if we can take a few steps in achieving even a few of the above, that would be a great start.

Stay happy and keep reading!!
