SIddhi in life of sages vs self realization
Dhananjay • 11/6/2014
Question
The so called siddhi power obtained by the sages/saints/shamans. Do they come because they have been cultivated or because when someone attain self realization, they possess them as a by-product? Such siddhi are levitation, bilocation, prophecy, control over nature, etc. At the same it is said that siddhi are an obstacle to self realization.
Answer
Siddhi-s, like everything else, come because it is so destined, as regards that Jiva. Even then, these come to the extent proposed by the higher power & not more. Some of these come en route to realizing the self and are hence termed byproducts. Attachment or desire to any kind of Siddhi is an obstacle to realizing the self.
