Pearls of Wisdom
Aura

 

Auras are different from light. Auras are different colors: sometimes black, sometimes coffee-colored, and sometimes yellow or red. It depends on the person’s temperament at that time. But when you see a person with a strong spiritual aura, you know it’s different. ~Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, United Nations, New York, USA, June 26, 1992 (Originally in English) DVD #260

The enlightened people have a great light around them. That is different from the aura. Everyone has an aura. But the great light of the enlightened person is different. It is bigger, clearer, and brilliant. ~Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, Munich, Germany, May 1, 1993 (Originally in English) Videotape #366

The light around the Buddha and Jesus is called the halo, the magnetic field of the enlightened one. The more enlightened a person is, the brighter is this light around him or her. But only when you have opened the wisdom eye, can you see if a person has light or not. The person who sees the Light inside has light outside also. The person who does not see the Light inside has very dim or very dark, or very low light outside. We call this the aura. The aura of the person who is completely enlightened is very, very bright. The disciple can see this light, because he or she is enlightened. The disciple has the wisdom eye opened, and he or she can see that the Buddha or Jesus has light. So they paint the picture just the way they saw it…. Some people also have some psychic powers; they don’t even practice the Quan Yin Method, but they have the wisdom eye opened a little. They can also see who has the great light, who has golden light, and who has dark coffee-color light. But the best knowledge is your Self. You are the teacher; you are the Buddha. And I want to show you your great wisdom. ~Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, Colombo, Sri Lanka April 29, 2000 (Originally in English) Videotape #687

Q: Can you see and analyze auras on people around you?

M: I am not interested, I am only interested in the soul, which is always effulgent, always bright, always everlasting and omnipresent. ~Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, Hawaii, USA, March 28, 1993 (Originally in English) Videotape #343

Of course the people who practice spiritually can see the auras of other people. But that is only the aura of the astral. The highly evolved beings just look at the soul of the person, with or without the aura. The soul is always perfect, brighter than millions of suns put together. It’s just covered sometimes. ~Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, Athens, Greece, May 20, 1999 (Originally in English) Videotape #653

Healing by using spiritual force is unnatural. It messes with people’s aura, with people’s chakras, with people’s spiritual, magnetic field. And it’s difficult to correct later. It also messes up the psyche and Nature of people. ~Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, Harvard University, USA, February 24, 1991 (Originally in English) Videotape #155

Actually, whatever we did or we do, even though no one knows it, even though no one has ever seen us doing these things before or has never even met us, they will still detect something from our aura, from our energy field, our magnetic field, and then react accordingly. That’s why we must take care all the time to keep ourselves pure, impeccably pure and clean, and consciously strive to keep it always like this. Otherwise, whatever happens to us, we cannot blame anyone else. ~Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, Hsihu, Formosa, February 19, 1996 (Originally in English) Videotape #527

There’s another point about why we have to keep ourselves noble and pure. Because people can see us -- the seers, the sages and the pure in heart -- can see our aura. If we do something right, if we are God-realized, we are God-loving and one with God, our aura is golden, brilliant. If we do something wrong – if we hurt other people emotionally, physically, mentally or spiritually -- our aura is dark. People can see us, so we cannot cheat. That’s why we have to keep ourselves beautiful. ~Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, Pune, India, November 23, 1997 (Originally in English) News #91, DVD #600
