The thirty-sixth chapter: Their wealth of the three jewels was not stolen by the thief of passions, because they were always awake and never negligent. (13) They were always silent, so they never had any regard for idle talk. Their mind-fortress was well-guarded, so it could not be breached by the senses. (14) In their mind-palace, the lamp of knowledge shone brightly, so all things were worthy of contemplation. (141) They contemplated the essence of all things through their knowledge of right understanding and scripture, so the world became as clear to them as a berry in the palm of their hand. (142) They were radiant with the victory of endurance, having conquered their enemies, the senses. They pierced through the enemies of passions and experienced the kingdom of austerity. (143) Due to the power of their austerity, many yogic powers manifested in them, giving them the power to shake the three worlds. (144) Their four types of knowledge increased due to the destruction and pacification of the karmas that obscured them. (145) The increase of their knowledge of right understanding and scripture led to the manifestation of their powers of knowledge of the inner self and others, and their knowledge of scripture expanded to include the knowledge of all limbs and the past. (146) They transcended the highest level of knowledge and attained all levels of knowledge. They attained vast knowledge of the mind-sphere. (147) The purity of their knowledge led to a great increase in the purity of their austerity. Just as the root is the cause of the growth of a large tree, so knowledge is the cause of the growth of austerity. (148)
