The Discourse on Fineness
16.
"There are, monks, these four kinds of fineness.
What are the four?
Here, monks, a monk is endowed with the supreme fineness of matter;
and with that fineness of matter he does not regard another fineness of matter as more superior or more sublime;
and with that fineness of matter he does not desire another fineness of matter more superior or more sublime.
He is endowed with the supreme fineness of feeling;
and with that fineness of feeling he does not regard another fineness of feeling as more superior or more sublime;
and with that fineness of feeling he does not desire another fineness of feeling more superior or more sublime.
He is endowed with the supreme fineness of perception;
and with that fineness of perception he does not regard another fineness of perception as more superior or more sublime;
and with that fineness of perception he does not desire another fineness of perception more superior or more sublime.
He is endowed with the supreme fineness of activities;
and with that fineness of activities he does not regard another fineness of activities as more superior or more sublime;
and with that fineness of activities he does not desire another fineness of activities more superior or more sublime.
These, monks, are the four kinds of fineness."
From where perception arises, and where it ceases;
Having known activities as alien, as suffering, and not as self.
Bears his final body, having conquered Māra with his army." The sixth.
