1. Supernormal powers come with birth or are attained through herbs,

incantations, austerities or concentration.

 

2. (The mutation of body and organs into those of one born in a different

species) Takes place through the filling in of their innate nature.

 

3. Causes do not put the nature into motion, only the removal of obstacles takes

place through them. This is like a farmer breaking down the barrier to let the

water flow. (The hindrances being removed by the causes, the nature impenetrates

by itself).

 

4. All created minds are constructed from pure I-sense.

 

5. One (principal) mind directs the many created minds in the variety of their

activities.

 

6. Of these (minds with supernormal powers) those obtained through meditation

are without any subliminal imprints.

 

7. The actions of Yogins are neither white nor black, whereas the actions of

others are of three kinds.

 

8. Thence (from the other three varieties of Karma) are manifested the

subconscious impressions appropriate to their consequences.

 

9. On account of similarity between memory and corresponding latent impressions,

the subconscious impressions of feelings appear simultaneously even when they

are separated by birth, space and time.

 

10. Desire for self-welfare being everlasting, it follows that the subconscious

impression from which it arises must be beginningless.
