This would be a lot easier to answer if you could provide the exact quote about this from Maharishi. The thing about a lot of what Maharishi says, it is has been poorly interpreted by those around him. Some of it is also open to multiple interpretations. Regarding my personal experience, I had very good results with the Sidhis, especially with regard to sight, and flying, as I recall. I no longer practice the sutras, but I did gain the ability for example when necessary to see into my or other bodies, watching muscles, connective tissue, bones, blood flow, energy patterns, etc. What I have come to realize with regard to Sidhis, special abilities, is that once we have developed such things, we can most effectively use them when there is a need. For example, my fiance and I were roller skating about three months ago. She fell badly and fractured her tailbone. She was lying down in a great deal of pain before we left the rink. I naturally became aware of a lot of blocked, blackish-green energy near the base of her spine. Also the many tears in her muscles and large amount of blood plasma beneath the skin. By working at that level, I was able to create a situation where she was much improved, though still in a lot of pain when we reached the emergency room. She was not aware of what I was doing prior to that because we weren't speaking. But later, without me sharing any details of what I had done she described it to me, and her description was accurate. The point being here, is that Sidhis are like any other ability living things develop- we learn to walk, to talk, and if fortunate, to do Sidhis. But all of this when necessary; we don't try to walk while in bed, or talk when swimming underwater, or do Sidhis just because we can. (Of course we can do all of those things if we want to, but it is a waste of time...). Does that answer your question? ------------------------ Yahoo!
