70(6)Concentration
"Bhikkhus,(1)it is impossible that a bhikkhu,without concentration that is peaceful,sublime,gained through tranquilization,and attained to unification could wield the various kinds of psychic potency:having been one,he could become many...[all abridged passages here as in 6:2]...he could exercise mastery with the body as far as the brahma world.
(2)It is impossible that with the divine ear element,which is purified and surpasses the human,he could hear both kinds of sounds,the divine and human,those that are far as well as near.
(3)It is impossible that he could understand the minds of other beings and persons,having encompassed them with his own mind;that he could understand a mind with lust as a mind with lust...an unliberated mind as unliberated.
(4)It is impossible that he could recollect his manifold past abodes...[426]with their aspects and details.
(5)It is impossible that with the divine
eye,which is purified and surpasses the human,he could seebeingspassing away and being reborn...and could understand how beings fare in accordance with their kamma.
(6)It is impossible that with the destruction of the taints,he could realize for himself with direct knowledge,in this very life,the taintless liberation of mind,liberation by wisdom,and having entered upon it,could dwell in it.
