The Buddha told Maitreya, "A bodhisattva on the fifth ground discerns lower levels, and with regard to the stage of the sixth abode, sometimes sees and sometimes does not see where the mental phenomena tend. From an avaivartika bodhisattva up to an ekajātipratibaddha, none sees the direction of the mental consciousness of the Tathāgata as he raises or lowers his foot. A bodhisattva of progressive stages sees the eighth, seventh, and sixth, yet still does not see an ekajātipratibaddha raising or lowering his foot—how much less could one strike and examine the interlocked skeletal bones, desiring to discern them? That cannot be so."
