By following the various substitute methods of contemplation described above, the sadhaka develops the power to interpenetrate from the most infinitesimal particles to infinity.

The sadhaka is not only liberated from all disturbances of the mind; he has also repressed his consciousness and mastered his passions. His consciousness reaches a height of transparency in which it develops the power of interpenetrating objects from the minutest atoms to the impressive cosmos.

This sutra describes how the ordinary mind is metamorphosed into a super-mind, is able to imbue the limitless regions of space, and the deepest regions within.
