Patanjali Yoga Sutra – 23



Watch what you do

Sopakramam nirupakramam cha karma tatsamyamadaparantha jnanam arishtebhyaha||

We are all the time doing actions. When we bring our mind’s attention to the actions that are happening within the body and the actions performed with the body, the results produced by those actions and our response to them, there is a subtle knowledge that is generated about the functions of the body. This meditative observation will also reveal to us the latent experience and actions that we may go through in the future.

This knowledge in due course of time will reveal to us the time of death through signs and omens. These siddhis need not be specially practised. They are a natural result of a slow, meditative, aware and experiential living. – SS
