Samadhi of the Enlightened People

Slowly, slowly in all the countries where spirituality has flowered, people became aware that something happens… So people have preserved things that were used by these people, or just have made memorials of their bodies. In India bodies are burned, but you will be surprised to know that the remains left after the burning a body are called “flowers”. Ordinary people’s ashes are drowned into the holy rivers, but enlightened people’s “flowers” are preserved in samadhis – in beautiful marble memorials. Just to go and sit there is itself a meditation. But the trouble is that the world is ruled by those who know nothing of this.
