3.17-3.37 Experiences from Samyama; 3.38 What to do with experiences

These sutras describe the various experiences which appear to be superhuman powers, such as mind reading, or controlling the light that emanates from your being to appear invisible and many others. The culmination however of these sutras is 3.38 which states that these too are only part of the gunas, and while they appear fantastical if they are indulged in, (ie. creating attachments to them) they only feed the ego and hinder the yogini rather than help on the path of Self-realization. If however, the yogini learns to work past even these subtle obstacles then the path is much clearer to them.
