MYSTIC CITY – SHAMBALA
Part One
The modern man knows about many cities in this world. But not Shambala. Why? Because it won’t appear to the human eye. We can’t imagine it also with our brain. But there are many people in this world who know about it.,saw it, and lived in it. Who are they? They are SIDDHAS. A Siddha is a person who can see things know them, which we cannot be seen with the human eye. A Siddha is a person who can see distant things, know unknown things, if he wants he could able to go there and come back., by simply sitting in a chair in his home. How is it possible? It is possible because, he is the person who got full control over his senses, his mind and his Buddhi. Such persons can only see Shambala, go to Shambala and come back. They live happily in this world, like a drop of water on a lotus leaf.
