Development of Psychic Abilities : Clairvoyance and Thought reading.

Clairvoyance

It is told in the Patanjali Yoga philosophy, that certain wonderful psychic powers are developed in the sadhaka whose mind has gone in the forth state (turiya state). 

Along with these great powers certain trifling powers are also developed. we hear of siddhi like walking on water ,flying in the air, etc. 

But as nobody has ever seen these powers in action, we are naturally suspicious about their truth.

The yoga philosophy has described these powers only to the sadhaka towards attainment of the "Maha Siddhii or "enlightment"

Real Happiness lies beyond these siddhis

Powers like clairvoyance, clairaduience, thought reading and fullfillment can only be aquired whose mind is pure, who has faith , and who practices sadhana like pranyam ,gazing etc regularly and for a number of years.

Faith is of paramount importance for the development of these siddhi.

What is faith? 

Faith means a powerful thought about success of a deed or a an act in imagination.

Nobody doubt the burning of the hand who put fire, if with this faith. you "will" any reasonable thing it will materialize.

I shall give instance from Bible : Once lord Christ was travelling with disciples in far off country.

He say a Small mountain before him

He told the disciples that if anyone without the least doubt in his mind orders the mountain to fly off and fall in the sea his order will be excesute by the mountain.

This is only an example to show what faith means.
