Continued from the previous one……..

       Although Patanjali indeed has mentioned such mystic proficiencies ensues during practicing yoga way, yet it has been mentioned along with these subsidiary consequence that it is not wise to give these ones much of importance or boast about these ones with any conceited attitude because such attempt would cause Yogi’s downfall, thus he can be counted in the category of defiled Yogis. In this connection some annotators have commented like that:--‘It does not get known through the Yoga Philosophy of Patanjali that in what way these mystical proficiencies do prove supportive to the innovative Yogis? Whereas in his annotation on the subject Saint Vyasji has hinted that these mystic proficiencies do become a cause of purifying the conscience equally like attaining knowledge’. So we can possibly come to this inference that after attaining mystic proficiencies like celestial voyage etc., a Yogi may suppose that he has become free from the bondage of nature or he has conquered the nature, he may lessen his fondness to the physical aspect of the body. Even after these mystic proficiencies it is quite clear these mystic proficiencies are not needed for attaining the ultimate trans-meditation which is known as KAIVALYA. More over this is also mentioned therein that it is not very necessary that such mystical proficiencies can be had only through practicing Yoga Way, as is mentioned in Yoga Philosophy of Patanjali that some of such mystic proficiencies may be congenital or may be had through administering medicinal potions or tablet, power of Yantras {talisman}, power of Mantras, power of penance performance etc. We get to this conclusion that it is not necessary all of such mystic proficiency holders must be noble ones notwithstanding some of them may be deceitful also.
