The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali - Book 3 - Union achieved and its Results
42. By one-pointed meditation upon the relationship existing between the body and the akasha, ascension out of matter (the three worlds) and power to travel in space is gained. The akasha is everywhere. In it we live and move and have our being. All is but one [339] substance, and in the human body are found the correspondences to the various differentiations. When a man knows himself, and is aware of the relationship existing between the energies working through the seven centers and the seven states of matter and consciousness, then he is liberated and free and can contact at will and without time limitations all those states. There is a relation between one of the seven states of matter and one or other of the centers; through each one of the centers is the door to a certain plane of the planetary spheres. When the disciple has worked out into his life in correct realization the various means of yoga dealt with in the previous books, certain keys and knowledge, certain words and formulas, can be entrusted to him which will, through concentrated meditation give him the freedom of the heavens and the right to pass through certain gateways into the Kingdom of God.
