Such a yogi can also focus his mind on immense objects, such as mountain ranges and even stars. He is able to stretch the size of his mind to accommodate the biggest entities in the universe. He is able to see all of nature—the most expansive, primordial energy field—all at once. Due to the expanded field of his mind, he can see what is going on in the world, its cause, and its effect. Such a yogi has the capacity to comprehend the subtle causes of even the most complex issues. It is such yogis who foresee events fully matured, even when they are still well hidden deep beneath the dense layers of time and space.
True meditation is defined by Patanjali as ‘pure awareness’, beyond the ego personality with thoughts, mind and feelings. Just absorbed into pure consciousness, an Awareness that one is. And everything and everyone in the Universe is. Beyond time and space, beyond past, present and future, ALL IS!
The mastery over mind results in control of relationship with everything from atom to cosmos
