The Discourse on the World
23.
"The world, monks, has been fully awakened to by the Truth-finder.
The Truth-finder is unbound from the world.
The origin of the world, monks, has been fully awakened to by the Truth-finder.
The origin of the world has been abandoned by the Truth-finder.
The cessation of the world, monks, has been fully awakened to by the Truth-finder.
The cessation of the world has been realised by the Truth-finder.
The practice leading to the cessation of the world, monks, has been fully awakened to by the Truth-finder.
The practice leading to the cessation of the world has been developed by the Truth-finder.
"Whatever, monks, in the world with its gods, with its Māras, with its Brahmās, among the generation with its ascetics and brahmins, with its gods and humans, has been seen, heard, sensed, cognised, attained, sought after, pondered over by the mind - all that has been fully awakened to by the Truth-finder. Therefore he is called 'Truth-finder'.
"And, monks, on the night when the Truth-finder fully awakens to the unsurpassed perfect enlightenment, and on the night when he attains final Nibbāna through the Nibbāna element without residue of clinging, whatever he speaks, talks, and points out in between - all that is just so, not otherwise. Therefore he is called 'Truth-finder'.
"Monks, the Truth-finder speaks as he acts, acts as he speaks. Thus he speaks as he acts, acts as he speaks. Therefore he is called 'Truth-finder'.
"In the world with its gods, monks, with its Māras, with its Brahmās, among the generation with its ascetics and brahmins, with its gods and humans, the Truth-finder is the overlord, unvanquished, the all-seeing, wielding power. Therefore he is called 'Truth-finder'."
Unbound from the whole world, unattracted in the whole world.
For him the supreme peace is touched, Nibbāna, fearless from any quarter.
Having attained the elimination of all action, liberated in the extinction of clinging.
For the world with its gods, he set in motion the divine wheel.
Having come together, they pay homage to him, the great one, free from timidity.
Liberated, the foremost of those who liberate, crossed over, the excellent among those who help cross over.
In the world including the gods, there is no one equal to you." The third.
