12.30 Self-restraint in actions includes abstention from violence, from falsehoods, from stealing, from sexual engagements, and from acceptance of gifts. 2.31 These five willing abstentions are not limited by rank, place, time or circumstance and constitute the Great Vow. 2.32 The fixed observances are cleanliness, contentment, austerity, study and persevering devotion to God. 2.33 When improper thoughts disturb the mind, there should be constant pondering over the opposites. 2.34 Improper thoughts and emotions such as those of violence- whether done, caused to be done, or even approved of- indeed, any thought originating in desire, anger or delusion, whether mild medium or intense- do all result in endless pain and misery. Overcome such distractions by pondering on the opposites. 2.35 When one is confirmed in non-violence, hostility ceases in his presence. 2.36 When one is firmly established in speaking truth, the fruits of action become subservient to him. 2.37 All jewels approach him who is confirmed in honesty. 2.38 When one is confirmed in celibacy, spiritual vigor is gained. 2.39 When one is confirmed in non-possessiveness, the knowledge of the why and how of existence is attained. 2.40 From purity follows a withdrawal from enchantment over one's own body as well as a cessation of desire for physical contact with others. 2.41 As a result of contentment there is purity of mind, one-pointedness, control of the senses, and fitness for the vision of the self. 2.42 Supreme happiness is gained via contentment. 2.43 Through sanctification and the removal of impurities, there arise special powers in the body and senses. 2.44 By study comes communion with the Lord in the Form most admired. 2.45 Realization is experienced by making the Lord the motive of all actions. 2.46 The posture should be steady and comfortable. 2.47 In effortless relaxation, dwell mentally on the Endless with utter attention. 2.48 From that there is no disturbance from the dualities. 2.49 When that exists, control of incoming and outgoing energies is next. 2.50 It may be external, internal, or midway, regulated by time, place, or number, and of brief or long duration. 2.51 Energy-control which goes beyond the sphere of external and internal is the fourth level- the vital. 2.52 In this way, that which covers the light is destroyed. 2.53 Thus the mind becomes fit for concentration. 2.54 When the mind maintains awareness, yet does not mingle with the senses, nor the senses with sense impressions, then self-awareness blossoms. 2.55 In this way comes mastery over the senses. End Part Two Part Three on Divine Powers 3.1 One-pointedness is steadfastness of the mind. 3.2 Unbroken continuation of that mental ability is meditation. 3.3 That same meditation when there is only consciousness of the object of meditation and not of the mind is realization. 3.4 The three appearing together are self-control. 3.5 By mastery comes wisdom.
23.2 Unbroken continuation of that mental ability is meditation. 3.3 That same meditation when there is only consciousness of the object of meditation and not of the mind is realization. 3.4 The three appearing together are self-control. 3.5 By mastery comes wisdom. 3.6 The application of mastery is by stages. 3.7 The three are more efficacious than the restraints. 3.8 Even that is external to the seedless realization. 3.9 The significant aspect is the union of the mind with the moment of absorption, when the outgoing thought disappears and the absorptive experience appears. 3.10 From sublimation of this union comes the peaceful flow of unbroken unitive cognition. 3.11 The contemplative transformation of this is equalmindedness, witnessing the rise and destruction of distraction as well as one-pointedness itself. 3.12 The mind becomes one-pointed when the subsiding and rising thought-waves are exactly similar. 3.13 In this state, it passes beyond the changes of inherent characteristics, properties and the conditional modifications of object or sensory recognition. 3.14 The object is that which preserves the latent characteristic, the rising characteristic or the yet-to-be-named characteristic that establishes one entity as specific. 3.15 The succession of these changes in that entity is the cause of its modification. 3.16 By self-control over these three-fold changes (of property, character and condition), knowledge of the past and the future arises. 3.17 The sound of a word, the idea behind the word, and the object the idea signfies are often taken as being one thing and may be mistaken for one another. By self-control over their distinctions, understanding of all languages of all creatures arises. 3.18 By self-control on the perception of mental impressions, knowledge of previous lives arises. 3.19 By self-control on any mark of a body, the wisdom of the mind activating that body arises. 3.20 By self-control on the form of a body, by suspending perceptibility and separating effulgence therefrom, there arises invisibility and inaudibilty. 3.21 Action is of two kinds, dormant and fruitful. By self-control on such action, one portends the time of death. 3.22 By performing self-control on friendliness, the strength to grant joy arises. 3.23 By self-control over any kind of strength, such as that of the elephant, that very strength arises. 3.24 By self-control on the primal activator comes knowledge of the hidden, the subtle, and the distant. 3.25 By self-control on the Sun comes knowledge of spatial specificities. 3.26 By self-control on the Moon comes knowledge of the heavens. 3.27 By self-control on the Polestar arises knowledge of orbits. 3.28 By self-control on the navel arises knowledge of the constitution of the body. 3.29 By self-control on the pit of the throat one subdues hunger and thirst. 3.30 By self-control on the tube within the chest one acquires absolute steadiness.
33.28 By self-control on the navel arises knowledge of the constitution of the body. 3.29 By self-control on the pit of the throat one subdues hunger and thirst. 3.30 By self-control on the tube within the chest one acquires absolute steadiness. 3.31 By self-control on the light in the head one envisions perfected beings. 3.32 There is knowledge of everything from intuition. 3.33 Self-control on the heart brings knowledge of the mental entity. 3.34 Experience arises due to the inability of discerning the attributes of vitality from the indweller, even though they are indeed distinct from one another. Self-control brings true knowledge of the indweller by itself. 3.35 This spontaneous enlightenment results in intuitional perception of hearing, touching, seeing and smelling. 3.36 To the outward turned mind, the sensory organs are perfections, but are obstacles to realization. 3.37 When the bonds of the mind caused by action have been loosened, one may enter the body of another by knowledge of how the nerve-currents function. 3.38 By self-control of the nerve-currents utilising the lifebreath, one may levitate, walk on water, swamps, thorns, or the like. 3.39 By self-control over the maintenance of breath, one may radiate light. 3.40 By self-control on the relation of the ear to the ether one gains distant hearing. 3.41 By self-control over the relation of the body to the ether, and maintaining at the same time the thought of the lightness of cotton, one is able to pass through space. 3.42 By self-control on the mind when it is separated from the body- the state known as the Great Transcorporeal- all coverings are removed from the Light. 3.43 Mastery over the elements arises when their gross and subtle forms,as well as their essential characteristics, and the inherent attributes and experiences they produce, is examined in self-control. 3.44 Thereby one may become as tiny as an atom as well as having many other abilities, such as perfection of the body, and non-resistence to duty. 3.45 Perfection of the body consists in beauty, grace, strength and adamantine hardness. 3.46 By self-control on the changes that the sense-organs endure when contacting objects, and on the power of the sense of identity, and of the influence of the attributes, and the experience all these produce- one masters the senses. 3.47 From that come swiftness of mind, independence of perception, and mastery over primoridal matter. 3.48 To one who recognizes the distinctive relation between vitality and indweller comes omnipotence and omniscience. 3.49 Even for the destruction of the seed of bondage by desirelessness there comes absolute independence. 3.50 When invited by invisible beings one should be neither flattered nor satisfied, for there is yet a possibility of ignorance rising up. 3.51 By self-control over single moments and their succession there is wisdom born of discrimination.
