Yogasutra – Part 3 – Vibhūti-Pāda – Powers – Verse 3.20   «   »

न च तत्सालम्बनं तस्याविषयीभूतत्वात् ॥ ३.२०॥

na ca tatsālambanaṃ tasyāviṣayībhūtatvāt .. 3.20..

20. But not its contents, that not being the object of the Samyama.

Commentary on Sri Patanjali Yogasutra by Swami Vivekananda

He would not know the contents of the mind by making a Samyama on the body. There would be required a twofold Samyama, first on the signs in the body, and then on the mind itself. The Yogi would then know everything that is in that mind.
