The Discourse on Full Understanding of Delusion
11.
This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Worthy One, thus have I heard:
"Monks, without directly knowing and fully understanding delusion, without making the mind dispassionate towards it, and without abandoning it, one is incapable of eliminating suffering. But, monks, by directly knowing and fully understanding delusion, by making the mind dispassionate towards it, and by abandoning it, one is capable of eliminating suffering." The Blessed One said this meaning. Therein this is said:
"By which delusion beings, being deluded, go to an unfortunate realm;
That delusion, having perfectly understood, those with insight abandon;
Having abandoned, they never come again to this world."
This meaning too was spoken by the Blessed One, thus have I heard. The first.
