<div style="page-break-before:always; page-break-after:always">What follows as a result of habitual steadiness of the Chitta is that the student acquires the special capacity of identifying himself with the minutest atom or with any object unto infinity &ndash; from the subtlest to the largest. Here, only the qualified state of Chitta (Ekagra Chitta Bhumi) is raised to an altered but higher level of habitual steadfastness. This will sequentially become a source of power to catalyse him upward towards the highest state of trans - consciousness (Samadhi).However, such phenomena, occurring during progress in the study of yoga, is wrongly glorified as occult, or mystic, or spiritual power, or a miracle. Classical yoga has disapproved of such claims.The attitude of desirelessness gives rise to the purification of Chitta. Consequently, the Chitta, being empty of any transformation, becomes transparent like crystal. It has thus the power to reflect the true image of whatever is presented to it, be it the known, the knower or the act of knowing.This is an intermediary stage of Chitta called Samapati (concord) with the help of which many more psychic powers can be attained. Those who are looking for supernatural abilities may find this state very inviting. To a sincere student, this is no more than a precursor of what greater achievement might be expected. This experience positively enlivens faith and vigour to pursue the practice of yoga.-From Exposition of Yoga Sutras by Shri Yogendraji, published in the yoga monthly journal from August 1979 to April 1982.Thoughts of Shri Yogendraji(Compiled by Shri Dilip Tralshawala, senior Sadhaka of The Yoga Institute)
