2.53

Second, possessing the notion of form internally, one externally contemplates vast forms, whether fair or foul—this is called mastery of knowledge and mastery of vision. 'Possessing the notion of form internally, one externally contemplates forms' is as in the first liberation; in speaking of 'vast,' it is called vast contemplation because one contemplates vast causes and conditions. Since the mind has been harmonized, there is no obstacle to contemplating what is vast; hence it says 'vast.' If, amid vast fair or foul impure realms, one transforms with sovereignty, penetrates without obstruction, has neither grasping nor discarding in mind, and gives rise to neither love nor hate, this is called mastery of knowledge and mastery of vision.
