start movements as if he is making them through his own body. For half a day or even for a day the yogi may reside in that body and do all activities. Thereafter, the yogi may leave that body and re-enter his own body through the same process.
Note-In st. no 272, the author has made a categorical statement that he is not going to say anything about the yogi's entry into the bodies of the living, because of the fear of sin. However he has tried to say something about this very topic in the above four stanzas in order that the subject may not remain untouched.
क्रमेणैवं
परपुरप्रवेशाभ्यासशक्तितः । विमुक्त इव निर्लेपः स्वेच्छया संचरेत सुधीः ॥ २७३॥
Meaning: Thus, having acquired mastery in the art of entering other's body, an intelligent yogi can move about as he likes, becoming detached like a liberated soul.
