The Eight Greater Spiritual Powers or Siddhis are naturally found in the Self (Atman).
The fundamental essence of the Self stays veiled as long as an individual (Jiva) is ruled by Illusion (Maya). When spiritual qualities are undervalued, Siddhis become his servants naturally (when one is desireless).
The Self's eight-fold nature is fundamentally the power's eight-fold nature.
Pearls are given to those who do not demand them, while those who want things do not receive even the most basic necessities. All eight powers are given to the person who has lost all wishes.
My Nature is identical to the eight powers.
These abilities are given to everybody linked.
Desire, rage, greed, pride, envy, and hate are the six energy or passions.
The human body is designed to experience hunger and thirst. To stay alive, you must consume food and water. The mind's ailments are happiness and sadness.
If you receive what you desire, you are happy; if you do not, you are sad.
What the mind perceives as positive is positive, and what it perceives as negative is negative.
"I" is a notion that has neither a physical place nor a physical shape.
The notion of "I am Shiva. I am Shiva" (Shivoham) is beneficial.
There are six Siddhis, or powers, that are particular to the body:
- The first power is the ability to be unaware of hunger or thirst.
- Knowing the meaning of Vedanta necessitates true clairaudience, or the ability to hear distant noises, which is the second power.
- The third power is clairvoyance.
- The fourth power is mental dominance.
- The fifth power is the ability to travel anyplace.
- The sixth power is the ability to take on any physical shape.
- The seventh power is the ability to inhabit other people's bodies. It is the same ability to be able to leave one's body or to die according to one's wish.
- The eighth power is the ability to perceive Gods.
- The ninth power is to be successful according to one's wishes, while the tenth power is to have everyone accept your directions.
All of these abilities are linked to the mind.
A total of five lesser abilities exist.
- The first step is to understand the past and future.
- The second is to be unaffected by wind and rain.
- The third power is to know what another person is thinking.
- The fourth power is the ability to halt wind and fire,
- While the fifth power is the ability to constantly triumph over others or not be vanquished.
