The Parayana Vagga - Jatukannin's Question

23. Tell me the state of peace. Tell me as it actually is. Teach me to know the Dhamma, the abandoning here of birth & aging.

A: Subdue greed for sensual pleasures, & see renunciation as rest. Let there be nothing grasped or rejected by you. Burn up what's before, and have nothing for after. If you don't grasp at what's in between, you will go about, calm. One completely devoid of greed for name & form has no effluents by which he would go under Mara's sway.
