Sutra 1.21
21. suddhavidyodyaccakresatva-siddhih //
. . . pure knowledge rises and by that knowledge he becomes the master of the universal wheel.
"For this yogi, pure knowledge rises and by that pure knowledge, he becomes (cakresvara) lord of the universal wheel. This was just like Lord Krisna. Lord Krisna utilized his powers in a universal way, not a limited way. For example, Lord Krisna appeared in his universal form. That was the greatest yogic power. And furthermore, because he was master of the universal wheel, he displayed many additional powers. His powers were not limited. On the other hand, some yogis will tell you that when you take your school examination, you will achieve a good grade, or they will tell you that you will be successful tomorrow in your business dealings. These powers are called limited powers."
Universal power
"If, however, you want rainfall to come and rainfall comes, the power that caused that rainfall is an unlimited power, a universal power. If you want an earthquake to happen, that is universal power. If you want the destruction of the whole universe, that is universal power. If you want the rise of happiness for the universe, that is universal power. When in the background there is no individuality, that is universal power. That is becoming master of the wheel of energies, sakticakra. By the rise of pure knowledge (suddha vidya), the yogi exhibits universal power and becomes the master of Sakticakra, the universal wheel."
When the supreme light is revealed, the yogi becomes one with Lord Siva
"The knowledge that he attains is unequaled supreme knowledge because he simultaneously attains the supreme glories of all knowledge and all action. (Svacchanda Tantra)
When the eternal aspect of Lord Siva, the energy of svatantrya, is known, and supreme I consciousness is also in his knowledge, then the absence of supreme consciousness is kept away. This is why it is called pure knowledge, Suddhavidya. (Svacchanda Tantra 6.396)
You should be established in that supreme knowledge and reveal in your own nature the supreme light of supreme being. When that supreme light is revealed, you become one with Lord Siva. (Svacchanda Tantra 6.397)"
