PRATIBHAD VA SARWAM
OR THIS ALL IS BY INTUITION
This Sutra is somewhat difficult at least for me. The beauty of these Sutra is that they are all very short and so sometimes open for interpretation. In this Sutra the word PRATIBHA is used . And there are 2 different interpretations . One is what I wrote above. i.e. "All the powers come to Yogi due to development of intuition. The other one is that when one concentrates on PRATIBHA , he gets all the knowledge.
So we have to know what is meant by the word PRATIBHA. Sometimes we also use word PRATIBHA SHAKTI. -the power of Pratibha. Pratibha is not physical power. But it is mental power. We all see the same things in life , the falling in love , weddings , having kids , getting divorce , loosing job , death of loved one etc . But we do not write story . play or novel. But the one with the Pratibha for literature will write a story or play or novel. We all see the fruit falling of the tree or the ball when thrown up , comes down . But it took one with Pratibha - NEWTON to realize that it i.e. due to gravity. So he had Pratibha for science.
So one of the meaning of this Sutra is , when one concentrates on the Pratibha , knows everything . This is continuation of the theme from last several Sutras , where we are told about the powers that we get when we achieve the perfection of the concentration at various things or points .But it is also possible that the Rhushi wants to tell us that this all due to the INTUITION. Why did Einstein come with a formula of E=MC square. Some one may say it is due to hard work and the calculations , but why did he ever think that there may relationship between the energy and the mass and the speed of light ? It is the intuition or the Pratibha.
So in any case the intuition that one develops with meditation , will give the Knowledge about all the things .
