(Just trying to "cure" my "collective hang-over" due to people hereabouts drinking very heavily these days during week-ends. Sort of inverse ME, LOL!)
YS III 38 te samaadhaav upasargaa vyutthaane siddhayaH Taimni's translation: They are obstacles in the way of /samaadhi/ and powers when the mind is outward-turned. Those "gurus" who claim that practising saMyama is counterproductive, should read very carefully this commentary by Krishna Dvaipaayana: te praatibhaadayaH samaahitacittasyotpadyamaanaa upasargaas taddarshanapratyaniikatvaat | vyutthitacittasyotpadyamaanaaH siddhayaH | BTW, it's interesting that instead of "praatibhaadayaH" Bhoja in his commentary has "praakpratipaaditaaH". In general, Bhoja's commentary, which probably is much later than Krishna Dvaipaayana's, seems slightly more "negative" or "skeptical" as to the benefits of siddhis practise. ------------------------ Yahoo!
