Siddhis are supernatural powers
The human goal is self-realization, achieved through spiritual practice and divine grace. All beings are temporarily focused on the mortal world, yet our true purpose is to realize the Supreme. We must remember this aim, lest we forget like a shopper who returns home without the needed item. The Supreme is within all existence; this world is a field for performing good karma, service, and love. Divine qualities must be awakened within. Success in yoga comes from selfless service. The glory of saints is paramount, for they embody the divine. Seeking their blessings is essential for crossing the ocean of ignorance. Spiritual powers exist, but one must guard against the ego they can foster.
"Without my power, even a blade of grass cannot move."
"Wherever the saints put their holy feet, there I put my palms."
