The Parayana Vagga - Todeyya's Questions

20. One in whom there dwell no sensualities; one in whom no craving is found; one who has crossed over perplexity — his emancipation: what is it like?

A: One in whom there dwell no sensualities; one in whom no craving is found; one who has crossed over perplexity — his emancipation is not other than that.



21. Is he without desire, or desiring? Discerning or still acquiring discernment? Describe the sage to me so that I may recognize what he is like.

A: He's without desire, not desiring; discerning, not still acquiring discernment. Recognize the sage as having nothing, unentangled in sensuality & becoming.

Thanissaro Bhikkhu
