The feeling "high" when you go to Kharabsheh is simply the idea of keeping good company. This is from the sunnah as I'm sure you know the hadith about the one who goes to a perfume seller and the effect etc...
I'm sorry if it offended you. It was an exaggerated example, and I definitely agree with you that in company of th awliyah and the pious one DOES feel spirirtually high. Barak Allahu feeki.
