36. By acquiring siddhies and powers through any form of tantra or shakti sadhna/meditation does not mean that you are spiritually evolved

There are lot of spiritual seekers or sadhaks who feel that the more powers or siddhies you have , the more spiritually evolved you are. They always try to seek and find those gurus or saints who can show miracles through their acquired powers and siddhies. But the actual truth is that powers or siddhies has nothing to do with real spiritual growth. You may have lot of powers and siddhies but your spiritual growth can be absolutely zero. I have come across many tantriks who can perform miracles and have lot of siddhies and powers but are not at all spiritually evolved , infact they have a spiritual downfall. If you are truly spiritually evolved then you might not have any powers or siddhies but you will have lot of inner peace, contentment, detachment, desirelessness, egolessness and inner freedom. So ask yourself what are you seeking ….powers, siddhies, miracles or inner peace and freedom.
