NA CHA TAT SALAMBANAM TASYA AVISHYAYI BHUTAYWAT
BUT NOT THE CONTENTS OF (THE MIND) AS THAT IS NOT
THE SUBJECT (OF THE CONCENTRATION)
This Sutra is the continuation of the last one . We were told that when one has perfected the meditation , he can know the status of any other person's mind. But we are told now that when one looks at other person , he knows that he or she is in distress or happy or unhappy etc . But he does not know what is the cause of the distress or the state of the mind. So we are told that this not due to any limitation of the power. Whatever one concentrates upon , he will have the Knowledge of. So a gross look at a person will not tell us why he is in distress, but if he decides to concentrates on the MIND of the other person , then he WILL KNOW the cause of the distress. This Sutra suggests this conclusion in a indirect way. So the sutra states that we do not know the contents of the mind as we are not concentrating on it --suggesting that if we would concentrate on the mind we will know the reason for the state of the mind .
