The Second Discourse on Ascetics and Brahmins
500.
"Whatever ascetics or brahmins, monks, who do not understand the eye faculty, do not understand the origin of the eye faculty, do not understand the cessation of the eye faculty, do not understand the practice leading to the cessation of the eye faculty;
the ear faculty, etc.
the nose faculty, etc.
the tongue faculty, etc.
body faculty, etc.
do not understand the mind faculty, do not understand the origin of the mind faculty, do not understand the cessation of the mind faculty, do not understand the practice leading to the cessation of the mind faculty.
They are not for me, monks, etc.
having realised by direct knowledge themselves, having attained, they dwell.
"But whatever ascetics or brahmins, monks, who understand the eye faculty, understand the origin of the eye faculty, understand the cessation of the eye faculty, understand the practice leading to the cessation of the eye faculty; the ear faculty, etc. the nose faculty, etc. the tongue faculty, etc. body faculty, etc. understand the mind faculty, understand the origin of the mind faculty, understand the cessation of the mind faculty, understand the practice leading to the cessation of the mind faculty, they are for me, monks, ascetics or brahmins who are considered ascetics among ascetics and considered brahmins among brahmins; and those venerable ones dwell having attained the goal of asceticism and the goal of the holy life in this very life, having realised by direct knowledge themselves." The tenth.
