SPIRITUAL LIGHT.
એમાં તો નવાઇ હોયજ શી ?, પરન્તુ એથી પરમાત્મા-પ શકાય છે—એટલાજ માટે કહેવામાં આવ્યું છે કે—
" अंगीकृतं सुकृतिनः परिपालया "
आत्मस्वरूपस्थितचित्तवृत्तेर्भवप्रपञ्चेषु तटस्थदृष्टेः । अध्यात्मराजेश्वर सुप्रसादे का न्यूनता सिद्धिषु लब्धिषु स्यात् ॥ ११३ ॥
(13)
With the propitiation of the supreme Lord of spiritual knowledge, what Siddhis and Labdhis are not within the reach of one whose mind is concentrated on the real nature of soul and who maintains equanimity as regards the world-drama?
Siddhis.
One who successfully practises the path of Yoga becomes blessed with eight extraordinary powers called Siddhis. These powers are acquired more or less in proportion to the mode and the practice of yoga or stage of perfection.
Eight powers.
I Anima-The power of becoming extremely minute i.e. as small as an atom,
II Mahima-The power of becoming extremely great to the extent of comprehending the universe in one's self.
III Laghima-The power of becoming extremely light.
IV Garima-The power of acquiring extraordinary increase of specific gravity.
