“Oh good man! When practicing meditation, one arrives at such right knowledge ['jnana'] and right view of life. That's why I say in the sutras that any bhiksu who practices meditation can indeed see how the five skandhas appear and disappear. Oh good man! If one does not practice meditation, one cannot clearly see how obtain things in the world. And how could one know of the things that concern to the supramundane world? While there is no meditation, one can even fall over a flat place. The eye sees what is out of order; the mouth speaks what is out of order; and the ear hears what is different [from reality]; the mind understands what is out of order. Desiring to articulate (words with) the particular letters, the hands write strange sentences; desiring to take a particular path, the body follows a different path. One who practices Samadhi gains many benefits and attains unsurpassed Enlightenment.”
