KAIVALYA PADA - On Inner Freedom

This is kaivalya, the indivisible state of existence.

Self is the only reality

There are four types of yogis.

When the Yogi has seen all these wonderful powers, and rejected them, he reaches the goal

Each cell reflects the light of the pure Self and each cell drinks the nectar of the soul. This is madhu pratika.

The yogi can reduce himself to the size of an atom, or expand

By samyama on the consciousness, the yogi lives without a body

By making Samyama on the relation between the ear and the Akasa comes divine hearing.

Yogi does not sink in water, or in swamps, and he can walk on thorns.

These are obstacles to Samadhi; but they are powers in the worldly state.

Yogi is able to hear, feel, see, taste and smell through unlimited space.

Yogi becomes the knower of all knowledge.

Siddhas are those who have perfected themselves in the field of enlightenment.

On the navel circle (comes) the knowledge of the constitution of the body.

By making Samyama on the sun, (comes) the knowledge of the world.

By making Samyama on the strength of the elephant, etc., that strength comes to the Yogi

He gains moral and strength by perfecting friendliness and othervirtues towards one and all.

If the light is stopped by the power of samyama, then one can become invisible.

Yogi know everything that is in that mind, past, present, and future.

By samyama, one gains knowledge of the language of all beings.

Patanjali's begins to identify the accomplishments which come to the aspirant

He drinks the nectar of his own self generating pure fragrance.

In one-pointed attention the energies of the seeker and the seer become one.

The restraint of rising impressions brings about an undisturbed flow of tranquillity.

Pranayama stops wastage of energy and increases stamina

From mastery of samyama comes the light of awareness and insight

Union of subject and object becomes samadhi.

Vibhuti-Pada

Pratyahara results in the absolute control of the sense organs

Pratyahara

The fourth type of pranayama transcends the external and internal pranayamas

Pranayama is the regulation of the incoming and outgoing flow of breathwith retention

Perfection in an asana is achieved when the effort to perform it becomes effortless and the infinite being within is reached.

Samadhi is attained through clarity of intelligence and intensity in thought to surrender to God

Self-study leads towards the realization of God or communion with one's desired deity.

When the body is cleansed, the mind purified and the senses controlled,joyful awareness needed to realize the inner self, also comes.

Knowledge of past and future lives unfolds when one is free from greed for possessions.
