People are endowed with unlimited powers. Not a single person is without them! But the road is missed when one is unaware of this truth. To gain awareness of this power, one must join the company of the holy, one must strive in spiritual practice (sadhana), and one must practise repetition of divine names and do meditation. Of what avail is it, even if you have each item of the provision in plenty but do not know how to cook them into palatable food? Similarly, people have in themselves all the provisions needed for their upkeep and progress, but they discard them lightly and leave them unused because they are ignorant of the process of benefiting from them. People must seek to see and understand the Universal Power (Shakti), the One without a second, which is the basis of all multifarious manifestations of name and form in the world. The mind flies at a tangent all the time. Meditation is the process by which it is trained to acquire concentration. (Dhyana Vahini, Ch-1)
