We have two ways of living in this world first with the Infinite and other separate from the Infinite. When you feel yourself with the Infinite, it is said that you are God-Realized being; when you feel yourself separate from the infinite, it is said that you are still in mortal cognizance.
The entire difference shows due to what you choose to identify yourself with. If you identify yourself with your physical body, you are in mortal consciousness and as long as you will be in mortal consciousness and if you identify yourself with divinity Spirit, then you are in spiritual consciousness, merged with the Ocean of divine Love, Power and wiseness, with the infinite ocean of energy. When you are in that state of consciousness, supernatural abilities appear spontaneously.
There are also many spiritual seekers people who go around "seeking" this state of consciousness. It is not something you find outside the world, but rather something you accept and then live it, because it is already what you are. Seeking it is pretty much like a ‘Kasturi Mrig’ (Musk Deer) who always seeking madly about fragrance that comes from her own body.
There are some people who proceed upon the spiritual path and then they hear from someone that it doesn't matter whether they do any spiritual practice or they don't because they are already on the states. But there is a big difference between being spiritual and truly knowing that you are unearthly, experiencing yourself as spirituality. This would compare to having all the treasure of the world, yet not having a clue how to access, how to use and how to do with that states, and most importantly how to live in harmony with spirituality. If they struggle to make a living, if they are unhappy, if they are not feeling truly fulfilled, then they have not yet gotten acquainted with spirituality. They may know Spirit as an idea, but not as a real living experience.
All Infinite powers are developed through the regular practice of concentration, meditation and absorption.
Concentration comes after holding the mind fixed upon the Inner Light and the ability you desire to find. To do this, you can imagine yourself sitting in the center of the sphere of dazzling, brilliant white Light, allowing all to fade from your awareness. Or you can sit with a lighten candle in a dark room and looking continuously on candle that can also help to concentrate on flame.
Meditation is a lengthy concentration. Ordinarily a thought-wave arises, remains in the mind for a moment, and then subsides, to be succeeded by another wave. In the practice of meditation, a succession of very waves are raised in the mind; and this is done so quickly that no wave is allowed to subside before another rises to take its place. The effect is one of perfect persistence.
After your mind has been concentrate on a single thought through meditation for some time, you'll reach the stage of absorption. At this point you'll feel that you have completely unite with the object of your focus, that there is no longer separation between you and what you are speculate, but instead that you have become the very idea you have been focused on.
It has been said that if the brain can be made to flow continuously toward the same object for 12 seconds, this may be called concentration, and then 12 times of 12 seconds (i.e. 2 minutes and 24 seconds) in the state of concentration may called meditation, and 12 times of 2 minutes and 24 seconds, (i.e. 28 minutes and 48 seconds) continuously in mediation then it may be called lower absorption, after that if this absorption can be continued for 12 times that period (5 hours, 45 minutes, and 36 seconds) this will be called total absorption.
By accomplishing the above process on any specific ability or strength, one obtains that ability or strength. All these kind of powers of knowledge may also come to one whose mind is spontaneously initiated through purity.
In simple words, all that this extracts is to sit down and focus upon the ability you desire to express, until you become it within you, in your inner world.
As I mentioned above, all the powers you wish and even some you might not even have hoped of will come forth spontaneously if you sit down in meditation and make believe that you already have these powers These does not require hard work, but rather a childlike playful spirit. The more simple your approach, the faster will you make progress. If you open your heart completely to the Infinite, you will proceed at a lightning speed, simply because through love you will establish that you are completely willing and ready to know your true nature now.
