                             DHRUVE  TAD  GATI  DNYANAM    28

             (BY PERFORMING  SAIYAMA  -CONCENTRATION)  ONE ACQUIRES
             
                                        THE KNOWLEDGE  OF  SPEED

        There is continuation of description of the knowledge or the powers that one acquires when he has perfected the concentration .
        So when one concentrates on the SUN, he gets the knowledge of the Universe. There is different meaning to the word BHUVAN.. The SUN also has different meaning . The physical SUN is one and the SUN THE CONSCIOUSNESS  OR THE KNOWLEDGE, is other . May be enlightenment. So when one concentrates on the physical SUN in the sky, he acquires the knowledge of the physical universe of the EARTH and the other planets etc. When one concentrates on the other SUN , he knows about the other BHUVANE -like the 7 that are describes .These are not the physical but astral planes called BHUVANE.

      When one concentrates on the MOON , he gets the knowledge of the other constellations and the galaxy. When the Moon shines , we see the starts and the constellations. So when one concentrates on the moon, one can get the knowledge of the entire universe , including the various Galaxies and the constellations.

      In the last Sutra we are told that when the Yogi concentrates on the North star , he knows about the speed and other things related to the universe. We know that in the solar system has planets and they move around the SUN . and in the milky way Galaxy, there are many SUNS and and planets and they all rotate around something all the time. For us on the Earth, the North star seems to be stationary and so by concentrating on the North Star , we know the planetary movements and the knowledge of the universe.

    In previous Sutras , we were told bout the Human beings and now we are told about the non-human -universe. 

VIBHUTI PAAD SUTRA 25

PRAVRUTTI  ALOKA  NYASAT  SUKSHMA  VYAVAHITA  VIPRAKRISTA  DNYANAM


(DURING  SAIYAMA)  BY CONCENTRATING (DIRECTING THE  LIGHT OF JYOTISHMATI)

             ONE  ACQUIRES  THE  SUBTLER HIDDEN  OR  DISTANT  KNOWLEDGE

       The Sutra is continuation of the powers that one attains, with meditation or concentration .So in past we were told that when the Mind concentrates perfectly , there is an experience of light which means knowledge. So in last Sutras we were told that when Yogi concentrates on some person's mind , he can know the status of mind and what caused it . Now in this Sutra , we are told that similar things can happen when one concentrates on inanimate objects. So we can not only know the state of the Human mind , but we can know subtle things about ANYTHING that we decide to concentrate upon.

     If Yogi concentrates upon things like TV or computer or a chair or desk , he can see / know subtle or hidden things.Does that mean one knows EVERYTHING about mechanically complex thing like computer or fax machine ? I don't know . Not the details of every object, but certainly things that are not obvious externally , that are average person can not see , just by looking at it, will be known to Yogi .


(HOW I WISH I WOULD HAVE KNOWN YOGI WHO HAS PERFECTED MEDITATION) 

VIBHUTI PAAD --24

                                               BALESHI  HASTI  BALADINI

(BY PERFORMING  SAIYAMA-CONCENTRATION,)  ON VARIOUS  STRENGTH  ON

                                ATTAINS THE STRENGTH  OF ELEPHANT

     This Sutra is continuation of the powers that are achieved by doing the meditation or concentration.
So here we are told that if one achieves the perfection in the concentration on the quality strength, one gets the strength of elephant.
     Here one has to understand the meaning of the strength. One should not consider or limit oneself to the physical strength. We have seen in our life that sometimes the strength is seen in someone who does not appear to be physically strong. I have known physically weak people do unbelievable physical efforts under extremely stressful situation.A mother lifting away  a big wooden truce, because her child is trapped under it. So physical strength has to be accompanied with Mental strength.So when we talk about strength ,it does not have to be only physical or mental strength. The strength could be running or any other ability .
       When we talk about Elephant , it is indicator of unlimited strength So when Yogi achieves the perfection in concentration on strength, he has the strength -mental, physical and any other quality. 

VIBHUTI PAAD SUTRA 23

                                                      MAITRI  AADISHU  BALANI

(BY CONCENTRATING  OR DOING SAIYAMA)ON FRIENDLINESS ETC VIRTUES  ONE

                      DEVELOPS  STRENGTH (RELATED TO THESE VIRTUES)

       This Sutra has a little different meaning . Some what difficult to understand. We have several feelings , some are good and some are bad . Sometimes we are happy and sometimes we are sad. This the EFFECT of the surroundings or the things that happen to us in life . So the bad things that happen in our life make us sad and then that is reflected in our behavior and that may make people that surround us unhappy. This may also interfere in the Meditation.
        When Yogi concentrates on the Virtues like friendliness, cheerfulness,or for that matter any good qualities, he will eliminate any bad qualities and he will be in position to reflect these good virtues to other in his company. So he will make around him happy , friendly, compassionate etc.
       This also eliminates the bad and sad thought and the anger , greed, violence,cheating and many more from our mind and that helps the Yogi and the people around him.
