The Right Way to Have Psychic Powers (Yoga Siddhis)

        In Yoga terminology psychic powers are known Siddhis and they are discussed in details in lot of books on Yoga and Tantra.  A good resource for the study of these Yogic Powers is of course the Yoga Sutras (threads) of Sage Patanjali, where in Book 3 (Vibhuti Pada) Patanjali details the psychic powers and the methodology for their attainment.  Swami Satchidananda has written a very nice book with commentaries on Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras .

Patanjali Yoga Sutra  tells that "By non-attachment to even Psychic Powers, the seeds of bondage are destroyed and independence gained."   Here is Swami Satchidananda comments on this sutra and yoga siddhis in general.



"This means that the siddhis are nice, but they bind us as a consequence of the spirit siddhis. The mind wants something. I want to achieve that. Why? To be proud of myself. It develops self. Is him and" my "lake. . selfish desires, which is still there if you have siddhis like clairvoyance, etc., astral travel, I wonder why there would I say. "Oh, I thought it might help people. "I think this is just an excuse. You want to show that they can do something. You will be proud.

The siddhis are bad then? If so, why are they there? I say they are not bad. They are beautiful, they are good. When? Whey they come to you. If you are behind them, they are bad. This is the whole difference. Let siddhis come and plead: "Hey, I can do nothing for you" Then they're beautiful. If you walk behind and do not want, they are yours. They want to be like them. They want you and serve you. Well, they're wrong. Therefore, even in the Bible, you come into these forces. Everything will come to you. When? If you are looking for the Kingdom. "Seek ye first the kingdom of heaven. Everything else that you are given" You do not have to hunt for one. When you reach the boss, you have it all. You do not have to chase small things. "
