Prayer. Welcome. Today’s subject is Siddhis & Beyond! 144th Patanjali Yoga Sutras, 3rd chapter 38th verse Te Samaadhou Upasarkaaha Vyudhane Siddhayaha Vivekananda: these are obstacles to Samadhi but they are powers in the worldly state Prabhavananda: they are powers in the worldly state but they are obstacles in samadhi Satchitananda: these super physical senses are obstacles to nirbhija Samadhi… Osho: these are powers when the mind is turned outward but obstacles in the way of Samadhi I feel exactly Patanjali is happening the right subject about today. I will now detailed way describe. First I need to make you all understand the science of siddhi. The science of siddhi. Because in this sutra there are really many sacred secrets & many things which need to be clarified for many seekers. Because mystery mongering is not seeking for enlightenment or spirituality. Harry Potter school is different from mystery school. Harry Potter School is different from Mystery School, Mystery School is different from Harry Potter School. I will give you the basic understanding about Siddhis. When you are moving from mind to no mind through samyama or practices in this path whatever you go through as experiences is what I call as Siddhi. For example when you are doing samyama on Ananda Gandha you will have extraordinary powers happening on the way. That is called Siddhi.

Your body has the basic infrastructure. By doing weight lifting, yoga you can have basic strength. You can achieve various records by using your body and mind. Understand this body & mind comparison. You have a body, you can do yoga and create basic strength. Then do extraordinary feats like heavy weight lifting and get guinness record and awards. Same way you have mind, you can achieve enlightenment. But with body you can also eat your own blood, muscles, flesh and you will start having the worst death. The power hunger sometimes makes people to destroy their inner infrastructure of the mind and use it for extraordinary purposes. That is called black magic. Misused or abused power is what I call black magic. Used mind is siddhis, abused mind is black magic. And understand about the black magic, white magic and happenings of the presence. Siddhis are like white magic. There are some more things called ordinary magic. This is like using chemicals and doing different magical feat. These are ordinary tricks just sleat of hand. That kind of tricks. For that you don’t need to use mental power, mind power. There is no mind involved there. It is like a secret chemistry used in a creative way. There is another one thing called Uchatana. In the hindu traidtion, yogic tradition 3 ways are there for extraordinary powers to express through you. they are Mani – technique Mantra – sounds Oushada – herbs or chemicals Through this 3 ways the extraordinary powers can be expressed or achieved. If predominantly manis is used it is always these siddhas, oushada is used with little bit of mantra it is called Uchatana. I wanted all of you to understand this whole science so that you will not be easily cheated. Please understand, when the herbs, chemicals are predominantly used & little bit of mantra, sounds are used it is called Uchatana. If only herbs & chemicals are used, nothing else – it is called trick. There is no mani – techniques or mantra – sound is used, it is called magtic tricks. So there are few things – Magic tricks, white magic, black magic, happenings of the presence. What happens when vibudhi comes from my paadukaas are happenings of the presence. For example Vibudhi materializing – if you make small vibudhi balls and keep then between your fingers, apply chemical on your palm nobody can notice anything abnormal. Then when you rub your palm, vibudhi will come. It is called magic. The same vibudhi materializing is done with the help of Yakshini – unconscious souls it is called black magic, vibudhi coming from a person who is on the way to enlightenment, it is called white magic, afte4r enlightenment when vibudhi comes it is called happenings from the presence. I don’t have any other purpose. There is no other reason. In this the vibudhi happens as a casual flow. So understand the different levels – magic tricks, black magic, white magic, happenings in the presence. Usually the siddhi the white magic is done in the physical space. But if it happens beyond that like Vibudhi coming in other countries, it is not happening in my breathing space, it is due to happening because of the presence. If it is ordinary magic nothing wrong. It is simple magic. If it is black magic, the person doing will destroy himself. With white magic the person doing this will be stuck and will not be able to achieve enlightenment. And after enlightenment that which happens is just pure divine leela. It is happenings of the presence. There is no will. Just like a casual breeze that is all is happening. It is happening of the presence. For this neither techniques, nor sounds nor herbs are used. No mani, mantra , oushada are used. Only herbs and chemicals are used in magic tricks. Only if the chemicals and little bit of sounds are used it is called Uchatana. Uchatana has one more b ranch – black magic it is like using it without being aware of the side effects for wrong purposes. If the mani – technique is used, you will have some extraordinary powers called siddhas white magic. And after achieving enlightenment whatever happens in the presence is leela. Patanjali says all the samyamas he gave till now and all the powers – extraordinary powers & experiences will happen are great achievement to the outer world and obstacle to the Samadhi state. You need guts to teach something and say the utility level of this teaching can be obstacle! This is the honesty of Patanjali. He is warning you. First thing you need to do sit & analyze – do you really want only enlightenment or you are interested in some worldly achievement also. don’t be hypocrites. I know there are many Vedantic Sanyasis who say we don’t need these things and don’t do samyamas. They run around doing ordinary works and feel jealous of others who have it.

The sacred secret in this whole sutra is if you are interested in outer world accomplishments then practice samyamas. Nothing wrong in it. if you are interested in Samadhi & enlightenment don’t practice all samyamas, practice only the ones that give you enlightenment. Nothing wrong. Understand what do you want. Do you want name, fame, money, great. Use these samyamas along with your work. You will achieve it in no time. Or you are very clear you don’t need anything but enlightenment – just relax into Samadhi. Yesterday I heard news that Satya Sai Baba is critical in Hospital. We all pray and want him to get well and be well in the body. his physical presence is required in planet earth. We all pray to almighty that he recovers. I saw some people comment on the internet – if he is God, then why cannot he heal himself? Why does he need a ventilator for support? I want to tell all you guys that incarnations don’t have blood or what in their body? He will have blood in his body, he will have body just like anyone else and he will have a brain whose non-mechanical parts of brain are also awakened! And is this the time to abuse someone? Look at the extraordinary contributions to humanity. Me & Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam pray that his physical presence continues to exist in the body. he lives in the body healthily so that his contributions can be more for the planet earth so that seekers and the world can be in his presence. Of course he will continue to do his mission even without his physical presence. But we pray that he continues in his physical presence on planet earth. Understand these technical terms like – magic tricks, black magic, white magic, Uchatana, Happenings of presence – if you know this 5 category clearly, whenever any extraordinary thing is shown to you, analyze this belongs to which category. Then you will be clear and will know what you want in your life. Magic tricks – plain entertainment - nothing wrong. Black magic – even if you do for entertainment it is dangerous and do bad to you and person to whom you are doing. Uchatana – if you use it rightly for right purpose you will not have problem, if you use wrongly for right purpose or rightly for wrong purpose you will have problem. White magic may delay enlightenment but it will give you intelligence when to do when not to do. These are only what I call siddhiis. And miracles which happen in the presence, leela – happenings of the presence does only good all the time. Understand these sacred secrets, understand your purpose. Be very clear about it. then you will be able to clearly decide whether you want to use some samyamas o rnot. Neither have fear towards siddhis nor have greed towards siddhis. Have clarity and clear understanding about them. then you will not waste your time & energy. You will not cheat yourself & others. Blessings!
