Episode 387, 16 (Solah) Kalā (Soul Power): The Hidden Powers of the Awakened Soul

The ancient spiritual sciences describe 16 Kalā (Soul Power)as the full spectrum of divine powers that awaken within a soul when it reaches true self-realization. These are not external talents but states of consciousness that unfold as the soul purifies itself through awareness, yoga, and deep inner transformation. The purpose of studying the sixteen Kala(Soul Power) is not curiosity—but self-transformation. Without inner change, these Kala(Soul Power) remain dormant. As the yogi evolves, each Kala(Soul Power) begins to awaken naturally. Just as the moon moves through sixteen phases from darkness to full brilliance, the soul also moves from ignorance to divine completeness.

1. The First Kala(Soul Power) – Fearlessness Beyond Death

The most extraordinary Kala (Soul Power) is the witnessing state—the soul becomes an observer of both birth and death. When this Kala(Soul Power) awakens: Fear of death disappears, The soul realizes it is eternal, Death becomes a transition, not an end One who is free from fear of death becomes free from bondage. Among the sixteen Kala(Soul Power), one grants mastery over life and death—the yogi can choose when to leave the body. This is called wish-fulfilling death, a power seen in ancient sages.

2. Self-Realization: Knowing Who You Truly Are

True self-realization is not identifying with: Nation, Body, Religion, Role

It is recognizing the soul as separate from all external identities. “To know oneself as separate from the world is self-realization.” This realization develops through: Listening to spiritual knowledge, Meditation, Inner change, Self-observation

3. The Witness Consciousness (Fire Element)

The awakened soul becomes: A silent observer, Calm and centered, Filled with sattva (purity). This is called the fire Kala(Soul Power)—not physical fire, but the fire of awareness. With it comes intelligence, clarity, and light.

4. The Light of Inner Desire

A true yogi develops a powerful inner flame:-----Desire not for wealth-----Not for pleasure-----But for self-realization. This desire shines like eternal light connecting the soul to the Supreme.

5. Consciousness in Dreams

A fully awakened yogi does not lose awareness in dreams.

Even while dreaming:---The soul remembers itself---The witness remains active--The true identity continues

Your dreams reveal your subconscious state. Repeated dreams indicate old karmic recordings still stored in the subtle body. Yoga and meditation erase these recordings.

6. Penance: Removing Old Karmic Records

Long-standing habits, fears, lusts, and emotional wounds are stored inside the subtle body. They can only be erased through:---Meditation---Austerity----Focused yoga----One-pointed intention

Spiritual power removes what tricks never can.
