A person can experience penetrating insight into disturbances and delusions, into phenomena that could overcome the mind because it could not keep up with them. This insight severs the roots of all types of delusions: it does away with doubts related to misunderstanding, misguided infatuations, hatred, and confusion. It makes the mind supremely bright, calm, and tranquil.
