The Discourse on the Elimination of Mental Corruptions
102.
This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Worthy One, thus have I heard:
"I say, monks, the elimination of mental corruptions is for one who knows, for one who sees, not for one who does not know, not for one who does not see. And what, monks, knowing what, seeing what, is there elimination of mental corruptions? 'This is suffering', monks, for one knowing, for one seeing, there is elimination of mental corruptions. 'This is the origin of suffering', monks, for one knowing, for one seeing, there is elimination of mental corruptions. 'This is the cessation of suffering', monks, for one knowing, for one seeing, there is elimination of mental corruptions. 'This is the practice leading to the cessation of suffering', monks, for one knowing, for one seeing, there is elimination of mental corruptions. Thus, monks, for one knowing thus, for one seeing thus, there is elimination of mental corruptions." The Blessed One said this meaning. Therein this is said:
First is knowledge in destruction, then final knowledge immediately after.
Knowledge arises in destruction, 'mental fetters are eliminated' thus.
Nibbāna, the release from all mental knots."
This meaning too was spoken by the Blessed One, thus have I heard. The third.
