which is variously supposed to be somewhere near the
coronal artery, the pineal gland, or over the medula oblon-
gata. Just as the light of a lamp burning within the four
walls of a house presents a luminous appearance at the key-
hole, so even does the light of sattva show itself at the
crown of the head. This light is very familiar to all acquaint-
ed even slightly with Jb^a-practices and is seen even by con-
centration on the space between the eyebrows. By Samayama
on this light the class of beings called szofa^as-popularly known
in theosophic circles as Mahatmas or high adepts-able to walk
through space unseen, are immediately brought to view, not-
withstanding obstacles of space and time.
XXX.TTT. Or everything from the result ofpratibhd.
Pratibha is that degree of intellect which developes itself
without any special cause, and which is capable of leading to
real knowledge. It corresponds to what is generally called
intuition. If the Yogin tries simply to develope this faculty in
himself by performing samyama on the intellect he becomes
able to accomplish all that is said before, only through the help
of pratibha. This sort of pratibha is called t&raka-jn&na, the
knowledge that saves, i.e., leads to final absolution—moksa.
Hence that yoga which entirely concerns itself with this
department of intellectual and spiritual development is often
called Taraha-yoga or Rajayoga. It does not appear correct to
interpret this pratibha to mean the star lucifer in accordance
with a doubtful expression of the Bhasya (viz., pratibham mma
tarakam) after its explanation by Vdchaspatimi'sra which
agrees with the above. In the cultivation of intuition consists
the real power oiyoga.
