Surrounded by the same YoginÄ«s, the power to attract women becomes ‘the great force of delusionâ€� (³¾²¹³óÄå±¹±ð²µ²¹, bhramavega) by means of which the adept can control and even kill his enemies. All forms of magic are based essentially on the power to control and subjugate (±¹²¹Å›Ä«°ì²¹°ù²¹á¹‡a). ‘Blackâ€� rites direct this power at enemies, ‘redâ€� rites subjugate women and ‘whiteâ€� ones are the means to achieve control of higher, spiritual powers.

By all [yogic] practices, the various Bandhas and MudrÄås, nothing but union with ignorance [is achieved]. Meditation on points in the body, the channels [of vitality] and the six Cakras is an error of mind (cetas-bhrama). Therefore, having abandoned all that, [because it has been] constructed by the mind, resort to the no-mind [state]. [...]â€�.
