The reason why the Yogi is called upon to reject the miracle-making powers which he earns is that unless he does so he is stopped in his onward progress to the Highest. He must go on and on until he gains the latter; "Neti, neti"--"Not this, not that"--must be his constant exclamation when new privileges of a superhuman kind are presented to him. In brief, he is not to be satisfied nor to stand still until he reaches his Goal. But once he has won his way to the truly spiritual plane of being, he can then safely turn around and pick up and use every occult power by which he has hitherto refused to become ensnared.
