A yogī who has purified his existence by devotion to Me and who thus expertly knows the process of meditation obtains knowledge of past, present and future. He can therefore see the birth and death of himself and others.
Purport
After having explained the eight primary and ten secondary mystic perfections of yoga, the Lord now explains the five inferior potencies.

Translation
A yogī who has purified his existence by devotion to me and who knows the process of meditation for such powers obtains knowledge of events of past, present and future, which increase concerns for birth and death.
The lesser siddhis are now described. Dhāraṇā-vidaḥ means one who knows the meditation for acquiring knowledge of past, present and future. Traikālikī means “concerning subjects of the past, present and future.” This knowledge increases rather decreases concerns about birth and death.
Personal Guidance
A devotee purified by devotion who knows meditation expertly gains knowledge of past, present, future — including birth and death of self and others. Wide vision follows pure devotion.
Reflection Questions
- What do I most want to know about past, present, future, and why?
- Could devotion redirect the curiosity?
