At Savatthi. There the Blessed One said: |
|
Should consciousness, when taking a stance, stand attached to feeling, supported by feeling, established on feeling, watered with delight, it would exhibit growth, increase, & proliferation. |
|
Should consciousness, when taking a stance, stand attached to perception, supported by perception, established on perception, watered with delight, it would exhibit growth, increase, & proliferation. |
|
Should consciousness, when taking a stance, stand attached to fabrications, supported by fabrications, established on fabrications, watered with delight, it would exhibit growth, increase, & proliferation. |
|
Were someone to say, 'I will describe a coming, a going, a passing away, an arising, a growth, an increase, or a proliferation of consciousness apart from form, from feeling, from perception, from fabrications,' that would be impossible. |
|
-If a monk abandons passion for the property of form, then owing to the abandonment of passion, the support is cut off, and there is no base for form. -If a monk abandons passion for the property of feeling ... -If a monk abandons passion for the property of perception ... -If a monk abandons passion for the property of fabrications ... |
|
If a monk abandons passion for the property of consciousness, then owing to the abandonment of passion, the support is cut off, and there is no base for consciousness. Consciousness, thus unestablished, not proliferating, not performing any function, is released. Owing to its release, it is steady. Owing to its steadiness, it is contented. Owing to its contentment, it is not agitated. Not agitated, he (the monk) is totally unbound right within. He discerns that 'Birth is ended, the holy life fulfilled, the task done. There is nothing further for this world.'" |

Notes 1. "Supported by form": I.e., having form as its object. Similarly for feeling, perception, and fabrications. |
