the mystic perfections of yoga..
The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: My dear Uddhava, the mystic perfections of yoga are acquired by a yogī who has conquered his senses, steadied his mind, conquered the breathing process and fixed his mind on Me.
Purport
There are eight primary mystic perfections, such as aṇimā-siddhi, and ten secondary perfections. In this Fifteenth Chapter Lord Kṛṣṇa will explain that such mystic perfections are actually impediments to the development of Kṛṣṇa consciousness, and that therefore one should not desire them.

Translation
The Supreme Lord said: The siddhis of yoga are acquired by a yogī who has conquered his senses, steadied his mind, conquered the breathing process and fixed his mind on me.
The eight major siddhis, ten secondary siddhis arising from contemplation, and obstacles to yoga, are described in the Fifteenth Chapter. These siddhis which appear in the yogī who concentrates his mind are generally obstacles. These siddhis are described in order to show that one should reject them and concentrate on the Supreme Lord. Yuktasya means “steadying the mind.”
Personal Guidance
Mystic perfections come to the yogī who has conquered the senses, steadied the mind, mastered the breath, and fixed the mind on the Lord. The prerequisites are demanding, but they are the door.
Reflection Questions
- Which of these four foundations is weakest in me right now?
- What small daily increment could begin to strengthen it?
