Spirituality Visions Of Siddhas Perfected Beings

The VISION OF SIDDHAS (PERFECTED BEINGS) is one of the many siddhis (spiritual powers) described in the Vibhuti Pada (Book III) of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. The Sanskrit word Siddha means accomplished or adept and one who has attained the highest state of being. The Siddhas are the ones who have achieved many powers. They are capable of initiating others. And while they have achieved the highest state of consciousness, they are still aware of the suffering of lower beings that dwell in the lower realms. I guess this refers to people who like to eat at McDonald's. I may be wrong though. It could be Wendy's.

Buddhas, bodhisattvas, saints, devas, dakinis, archangels, and so on. Whatever they are and whatever you want to call them, they all exist within us. And, in my opinion, the ultimate goal of man is to find them and become one of them. Ugh, Nietzsche has entered the building. Hallo Ubermensch!

VUBHUTI PADA: SUTRA 33

"Murdha-jyotisi siddha-darsanam"

TRANSLATIONS:

1. (By performing Samyama on) the light under the crown of the head vision of perfected Beings. - I.K. Taimni, The Science Of Yoga

2. Focusing with perfect discipline on the light in the crown of the head, one acquires the perspective of the perfected ones. - Chip Hartranft, The Yoga-S^utra of Pata~njali: Sanskrit-English Translation ">ATTAINMENT OF VISIONS OF SIDDHAS (PERFECTED BEINGS)

Vision of Siddhas or the perfected beings can be attained by performing Samyama Meditation on the Third Eye Chakra or the Crown Chakra. Notice that I.K. Taimni's translation refers to the light "under" the crown of the head, so he may be simply referring to the Ajna (Third Eye) chakra. However, since both the Third Eye and the Crown chakras give direct access to invisible worlds, symbolize the threshold between the psychic and spiritual realms, and are exceptionally close to each other, I conclude that focusing on either of the two will enable you to develop this siddhi even if the translators don't point to the same thing.

Note: To better understand how Indian yogis and other masters of ancient wisdom attain vision of the Siddhas (perfected beings) and to see the full list of spiritual powers described in the Yoga Sutras, please refer to my main article about Spiritual Power.
