**Meaning:** Equality is like the threshold of a door that prevents a being from entering hell, it is like a lamp that illuminates the path to liberation, it is like Mount Meru that gathers the jewels of virtues. Therefore, equality is a destroyer of evil and a promoter of good for the seeker. ||17||
**Meaning:** For those whose eyes are covered with delusion, and who cannot see the nature of the soul, equality is like a divine collyrium stick (ointment), which destroys ignorance and other defects like an eye disease. When the diseases of the divine eye (ignorance, etc.) are destroyed, the nature of the soul can be clearly known. ||18||
**Meaning:** If a being, even for a moment, draws its mind away from all objects and practices equality, the happiness it experiences cannot be described to others. That is, it is an unparalleled joy that is indescribable. Only one who has attained equality can experience the joy of equality. ||19||
