Dead or Meditating?
My wife on reading this, made some unfavorable comments concerning my "meditations" when asked to cut the lawn, hang a picture, or do some other worldly activity.
An Indian Guru's state of consciousness is now going to court. Seems his followers have put his worldly body in a cooler , insisting he is in a high state of meditation. While in this state his family has control over his 170 million$ estate.... But, if he's dead then they loose control over the purse strings.

If one believes that an individual's consciousness (call it soul, source energy - whatever you wish) continues after the physical body ceases to function, then I suppose he is in a high state of meditation, where his consciousness has left his body. In other words - he's physically dead. But that doesn't mean he has ceased to exist.
It's tricky, because either or both may be correct. 
On a personal note, doing tedious chores is much easier when the mood is elevated. Meditating beforehand is critical! 
His followers can believe whatever they wish, but a death certificate trumps everything.
