pravṛttyāloka nyāsāt sūkṣma vyavahita viprakṛṣṭa jñānam |
By samyama on the effulgent Light within, the wisdom of sūkṣma, the subtle and the fine [as the atoms with absolute details], vyavahita, the hidden or obstructed [as treasures or unseen objects] and viprakṛṣṭa, the remote [as far distant lands and spaces] is obtained.
~ sutra 3.26, vibhūti pāda, patañjali yogasutra ~ सुत्र ३.२६, विभूति पाद, पतञ्जलि योगसुत्र
When the Yogi makes Samyama on that effulgent light within, he sees things which are very remote, things, that are happening in a distant places, and which are obstructed by mountain barriers, oceans or any obstruction, and also things which are very fine and subtle, like literally zooming into microscopic details.
pravṛttyāloka: the light within; nyāsāt: by samyama, by fixing; sūkṣma: subtle; vyavahita: hidden; viprakṛṣṭa: remote; jñānam: wisdom

On Mastering Nature, Moving at Speed of Mind, Beyond Sense Organs
ग्रहणस्वरूपास्मितान्वयार्थवत्त्व-संयमादीन्द्रयजयः ।
grahaṇasvarūpāsmitānvayārthavattva-saṃyamādīndrayajayaḥ ।
ततो मनोजवित्वं विकारभावः प्रधान जयश्च ।
tato manojavitvaṃ vikārabhāvaḥ pradhāna jayaśca ।
~ सूत्र ३.२६, विभूति पाद, पतञ्जलि योगसुत्र
By saṁyama on the power of perception and on the essential nature, correlation with the ego sense and purpose of the sense organs, mastery over them is gained. From that, the body gains the power to move as fast as the mind, mano-javitvaṁ, ability to function without the aid of the sense organs, vikārabhāvaḥ, and complete mastery or victory over the primary cause of the manifest nature, pradhāna. ~ Sutra 3.26, Vibhūti Pāda, Patañjali Yogasutra

Meditating on Shiva (to become Shiva)
सर्वज्ञः सर्वकर्ता च व्यापकः परमेश्वरः ।
स एवाहम् शैवधर्मा इति दाढर्याच्छिवो भवेत् ॥ १०९ ॥
sarvajñaḥ sarvakartā ca vyāpakaḥ parameśvaraḥ ।
sa evāham śaivadharmā iti dāḍharyācchivo bhavet ॥ 109 ॥
sutra 109, dharana 83
The Supreme Perfect Lord, Shiva is the all-knower [sarvajñaḥ], the all-doer, source of all actions [sarva-kartā] and all-pervading existent [vyāpakaḥ]. Fix your concentration on that Shiva. When your space is fully fixed on the awareness of Shiva, then, place that awareness in your own self. Consciously, firmly cognize – “As I am of the essence and nature of Shiva [Shaiva dharma], I am oneness with Shiva.” Thus, being established with this firm cognition, one becomes SHIVA.
paramaṁ dhyeyam śivalakṣaṇam paramakāraṇaṁ dhyāyate
svātmābhedena parāmṛśyate |
The object of meditation is Śiva, who is the supreme source of all manifestation and who is to be meditated on as non-different from one’s own essential Self.
