The Ninth Stage -- Good Mind

With superior subtle intellect,
Leaders search out the mental tangles of those around them;
They search out the various tangles of mind
And comprehend who can be taught, what the end and the beginning are.

They comprehend beginningless afflictions, in their interrelatedness of application,
As well as the continuity of their courses through compulsive propensities,
And in terms of the various differences in process of action,
And the vanishing of effect with extinction of cause.

Also, by specific knowledge of principles, they know the present differentiation of things. By specific knowledge of meanings, they know the past and future differentiation of things.

They also know accurately the weakness, mediocrity, and strength of faculties; their nature as appearances in the rapid disintegration repeated in the net of faculties.

They also know accurately the weakness, mediocrity, and strength of intentions; their nature as appearances in the rapid disintegration repeated in the net of intentions.

They also know accurately the weakness, mediocrity, and strength of dispositions; their nature as appearances in the rapid disintegration repeated in the net of dispositions.

They also know accurately the weakness, mediocrity, and strength of wills; their nature as appearances in the rapid disintegration repeated in the net of wills.
