[1138] He develops the basis for spiritual power (iddhipāda) endowed with concentration (samādhi) due to energy (vīriya) and volitional formations of striving, thinking: "Thus my energy will be neither too slack nor too tense; and it will be neither constricted internally nor distracted externally." And he dwells perceiving after and before: as before, so after; as after, so before; as below, so above; as above, so below; as by day, so by night; as by night, so by day. Thus, with a mind (citta) that is open and unenveloped, he develops a mind imbued with luminosity.
