The Peculiar Smell of Spirits
Ghosts and spirits are described as having a unique smell that is often blissful, distinct from earthly fragrances. This sense of smell can be heightened through spiritual practices, allowing individuals to perceive scents not typically recognizable in everyday life. For instance, burning copper at certain temperatures produces a scent reminiscent of the universe itself, enhancing the meditational experience. These mystical scents can evoke deep emotional responses and connect practitioners with higher energies during their sadhanas.
