Translating Sri Satguru Chalisa, Swamiji comes also to the

explanation of Siddhis, the supernatural powers. Siddhis

are natural milestones on the path of the yogi. Further

spiritual development is parallel with growing control over the

material and spiritual worlds. As a matter of principle one

should never aspire for siddhis, nor develop and use them for

one's own gain or selfish purposes. Any demonstration

of siddhis may result in the aspirant wishing to impress others by this power. The risk in this is to be blinded by ego and pride, ultimately ending by losing sight of the original aim.

Through years of spiritual practice a yogi may eventually

obtain some siddhis. However, a Divine incarnation is gifted

with all twenty-four siddhis from birth. Such an incarnation

stands beyond all worldly limitations.
