The Yoga Sutras Of Patanjali : Part - III On Divine Powers

3.16  By self-control over these three-fold changes (of property, character and condition),knowledge of the past and the future arises.

3.17  The sound of a word, the idea behind the word, and the object the idea signifies are often taken as being one thing and may be mistaken for one an-other. By self-control over their distinctions, under-standing of all languages of all creatures arises.

3.18  By self-control on the perception of mental impressions, knowledge of previous lives arises.

3.19  By self-control on any mark of a body, the wisdom of the mind activating that body arises.

3.20  By self-control on the form of a body, by suspending perceptibility and separating effulgence there from, there arises invisibility and inaudibility.
