31. Calmness is attained by Samyama on the bronchial tube.

 

32. (By practising Samyama) On the coronal light, Siddhas can be seen.

 

33. From knowledge known as Pratibha (intuition), everything becomes

known.

 

34. (By practising Samyama) On the heart, knowledge of the mind is

acquired.

 

35. Experience (of pleasure or pain) arises from a conception which

does not distinguish between the two extremely different entities,

viz. Buddhisattva and Purusha. Such experience exists for another

(i.e. Purusha). That is why through Samyama on Purusha (who oversees

all experiences and also their complete cessation), a knowledge

regarding Purusha is acquired.

 

36. Thence (from the knowledge of Purusha) arise Pratibha

(prescience), Sravana (supernormal power of hearing), Vedana

(supernormal power of touch), Adarsa (supernormal power of sight),

Asvada (supernormal poker of taste) and Varta (supernormal power of

smell).

 

37. They (these powers) are impediments to Samadhi, but are (regarded

as) acquisitions in a normal fluctuating state of the mind.

 

38. When the cause of bondage gets weakened and the movements of the

mind are known, the mind can get into another body.

 

39. By conquering the vital force (of life) called Udana, the chance

of immersion in water or mud, or entanglement in the thorns, is

avoided and exit from the body at will is assured.

 

40. By conquering the vital force called Samana, effulgence is

acquired.
