Divya-drishti (Hindi: दिव्य दृष्टि) or the divine eye-sight, also known as Yoga-drishti, refers to 'divine perception' which is intuitive perception or cognition that carries with it an intrinsic certainty and conviction. It is a spiritual attainment which according to Patanjali enables the yogi to communicate with heavenly bodies. This Divine vision is gained by the practice of neti that balances the flow of prana-shakti in ida, pingala and sushmana and uplifts the higher mental faculties which awaken the chakras and kundalini and even enables the yogi to see into the past and future. "Uttitha padma āsana" ('the raised Lotus posture') makes one develop divya-drishti, opens the heart center and cures respiratory disorders.

Arjuna saw the power of creating diversity in the universe. A similar gift had been bestowed on Sanjaya by Sage Vyasa.
