Yoga Sutra 4.1

janmau sadhi mantra tapah samadhijah siddhayah

Siddhis are gained through birth, specific herbs,mantras, austerities or samadhi. 

This sutra refers to past life experiences that we came into the body we have now with certain siddhis already in place.  He recognizes that holy herbs, chanting, loving discipline can also take us into the state off siddhis but always samadhi will get us clear on the path of enlightenment.
