[1112] Bhikkhus, whatever ascetics or brahmins in the past generated a portion of spiritual power (iddhippadesa), all of them did so because of having developed and made much of the four bases of spiritual power (iddhipāda). Bhikkhus, whatever ascetics or brahmins in the future will generate a portion of spiritual power, all of them will do so because of having developed and made much of the four bases of spiritual power. Bhikkhus, whatever ascetics or brahmins at present generate a portion of spiritual power, all of them do so because of having developed and made much of the four bases of spiritual power. Which four? Here, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu develops the base of spiritual power possessed of concentration (samādhi) due to desire (chanda) and volitional formations of striving (padhānasaṅkhāra). He develops the base of spiritual power possessed of concentration due to energy … concentration due to mind (citta) … concentration due to investigation (vīmaṃsā) and volitional formations of striving.
