Acquiring a cin-maya-śarīra, a spiritualized body...

Spiritual not Material Body - The Third Miracle - by Bhagavat das (ACBSP) now Maharaja:
The following pastimes demonstrate how a pure devotee is simultaneously present in this materiel world and yet totally disconnected from it and therefore not under its jurisdiction.

When Srila Prabhupada had his heart operation in the US many years ago the doctors put him under anesthesia as usual. However Srila Prabhupada remained conscious and chanted the holy name of Krishna throughout the procedure. The doctors of course were astounded, as any one would be who knows the powerful effects of anesthesia. It completely shuts down your brain and nervous system so that you feel and remember nothing. The subtle body consisting of mind, intelligence, and false ego, would not be able to perceive anything since the physical mechanism for expressing the subtle body, the brain, and nervous system would be shut down. For someone to remain conscious through such a procedure they would have to be completely transcendental to their physical body by inhabiting the physical body directly with their spiritual body, mind, intelligence, ego, and senses without the filter of the subtle body mind, intelligence, and false ego, even existing as a buffer.

This is the sign of a mukta purusha, a fully liberated soul, one whose consciousness cannot be affected by the materiel energy and hence the nervous system, the brain, the mind, and the intelligence, could not be shut down because they were spiritual not materiel. Srila Gour Govinda Maharaja performed this same feat when he had his operation in India, only he chanted the verses from the tenth canto of Srimad Bhagavatam during the procedure. The doctors were again astounded. Knowing how completely impossible it was for an ordinary man to perform such a task they all immediately recognized that he was a great mukta purusha, a perfectly liberated person. This concept is confirmed by Srila Prabhupada in a Srimad Bhagavatam Purport as follows: "An advanced devotee, therefore, does not live within the material body but within his spiritual body, just as a dry coconut lives detached from the coconut husk, even though within the husk. The pure devotee's body is therefore called cin-maya-sarira ("spiritualized body"). In other words, a devotee's body is not connected with material activities, and as such, a devotee is always liberated (brahma-bhuyaya kalpate), as confirmed in Bhagavad-gita (14.26). Srila Rupa Goswami also confirms this: 
iha yasya harer dasyekarmana manasa giranikhilasv apy avasthasujivan-muktah sa ucyate

"Whatever his condition may be, one who is engaged fully with his body, mind and speech in the service of the Lord is liberated, even within this body." (Srimad Bhagavatam 4:22:26 Purport)

We can understand from these pastimes that both Srila Prabhupada and Srila Gour Govinda Maharaja did not have a subtle materiel body which contains the false ego, the materiel mind and the materiel intelligence. A pure devotee would never accept the 5 kinds of ignorance, moha, maha moha, tamishram, andha tamishram, and tamash, as described in the 3rd Canto of Srimad Bhagavatam. Therefore they could not have a subtle materiel body which contains the false ego. This means that the Spiritual body, the siddha deha directly inhabits the materiel body which then becomes completely spiritualized cin-maya-sarira.

Śrīmad Bhāgavatam 4.22.26

yadā ratir brahmaṇi naiṣṭhikī pumān
ācāryavān jñāna-virāga-raḿhasā
dahaty avīryaḿ hṛdayaḿ jīva-kośaḿ
pañcātmakaḿ yonim ivotthito 'gniḥ

SYNONYMS

yadā — when; ratiḥ — attachment; brahmaṇi — in the Supreme Personality of Godhead; naiṣṭhikī — fixed; pumān — the person; ācāryavān — completely surrendered to the spiritual master; jñāna — knowledge; virāga — detachment; raḿhasā — by the force of; dahati — burns; avīryam — impotent; hṛdayam — within the heart; jīva-kośam — the covering of the spirit soul; pañca-ātmakam — five elements; yonim — source of birth; iva — like; utthitaḥ — emanating; agniḥ— fire.

TRANSLATION

Upon becoming fixed in his attachment to the Supreme Personality of Godhead by the grace of the spiritual master and by awakening knowledge and detachment, the living entity, situated within the heart of the body and covered by the five elements, burns up his material surroundings exactly as fire, arising from wood, burns the wood itself.

PURPORT

It is said that both the jīvātmā, the individual soul, and the Paramātmā live together within the heart. In the Vedic version it is stated, hṛdi hy ayam ātmā: the soul and Supersoul both live within the heart. The individual soul is liberated when it comes out of the material heart or cleanses the heart to make it spiritualized. The example given here is very appropriate: yonim ivotthito'gniḥ. Agni, or fire, comes out of wood, and by it the wood is completely destroyed. Similarly, when a living entity increases his attachment for the Supreme Personality of Godhead, he is to be considered like fire. A blazing fire is visible by its exhibition of heat and light; similarly, when the living entity within the heart becomes enlightened with full spiritual knowledge and detached from the material world, he burns up his material covering of the five elements — earth, water, fire, air and sky — and becomes free from the five kinds of material attachments, namely ignorance, false egoism, attachment to the material world, envy and absorption in material consciousness. Therefore pañcātmakam, as mentioned in this verse, refers to either the five elements or the five coverings of material contamination. When these are all burned into ashes by the blazing fire of knowledge and detachment, one is fixed firmly in the devotional service of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

Unless one takes shelter of a bona fide spiritual master and advances one's attraction for Kṛṣṇa by the spiritual master's instructions, the five coverings of the living entity cannot be uncovered from the material heart. The living entity is centered within the heart, and to take him away from the heart is to liberate him. This is the process. One must take shelter of a bona fide spiritual master and by his instruction increase one's knowledge in devotional service, become detached from the material world and thus become liberated. An advanced devotee, therefore, does not live within the material body but within his spiritual body, just as a dry coconut lives detached from the coconut husk, even though within the husk. The pure devotee's body is therefore called cin-maya-śarīra ("spiritualized body"). In other words, a devotee's body is not connected with material activities, and as such, a devotee is always liberated (brahma-bhūyāya kalpate), as confirmed in Bhagavad-gītā (14.26). 

Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī also confirms this:

īhā yasya harer dāsye
karmaṇā manasā girā
nikhilāsv apy avasthāsu
jīvan-muktaḥ sa ucyate

"Whatever his condition may be, one who is engaged fully with his body, mind and speech in the service of the Lord is liberated, even within this body."
