पातञ्जल योगसूत्र (स्वामी विवेकानन्द भाष्य एवं सूत्र व्याख्या)

Patanjali Yoga Sutras
These are obstacles to Samadhi; but they are powers
in the worldly state.
If the Yogi knows all these enjoyments of the world it comes
by the junction of the Purusa and the mind. If he wants to
make Samyama on this, that they are two different things,
nature and soul, he gets knowledge of the Purusa. From that
arises discrimination. When he has got that discrimination he
gets the Pratibha, the light of supreme genius. These
powers, however, are obstructions to the attainment of the
highest goal, the knowledge of the pure Self, and freedom;
these are, as it were, to be met in the way, and if the Yogi
rejects them, he attains the highest. If he is tempted to acquire
these, his farther progress is barred.

When the cause of bondage has become loosened, the
Yogi, by his knowledge of manifestation through the
organs, enters another’s body.
The Yogi can enter a dead body, and make it get up and move,
even while he himself is working in another body. Or he can
enter a living body, and hold that man’s mind and organs in
check, and for the time being act through the body of that
man. That is done by the Yogi coming to this discrimination of
Purusa and nature. If he wants to enter another’s body he
makes a Samyama on that body and enters it, because, not
only is his Soul omnipresent, but his mind also, according to
