The final section of the Sutra describes how, in the break-down of the five skandhas of form, feelings, thinking, formations, and consciousness, various states occur. When these will not be harmful, if the practitioner remains unmoved. But if one becomes attached to or arrogant about these experiences when they occur, then demonic states arise. This text is an invaluable manual for those who practice meditation.
