Yogasūtra I.40 - paramāṇu paramamahatvāntaḥ asya vaśīkāraḥ

What are the consequences of developing the state of Yoga?

The capacity of the mind that is settled, extends from the infinite to the infinitesimal, [the most simple to the most complex, and from the perceptible to the imperceptible.]

The capacity of understanding is not just limited to perception of the most subtle as well as the most gross, but also a synthesis of what it means both in the literal and metaphoric sense; from the gross to the subtle understanding.
