Patanjali Yoga Sutra – III – 38


Obstacles to meditation


Te Samadhau Upasargovyuthane Siddhayaha|

The psychic powers, though helpful in our dealings with the world, are an obstruction in a state of Samadhi. The whole purpose of meditation is reached by withdrawing from sense perception. When these subtle powers become active, then this disturbs meditation as the mind has now goot subtle objects of senses to deal with now. – SS
