6. Involvement

Burning

At Sāvatthī.

“Bhikkhus, form, feeling, perception, functioning patterns, and consciousness are burning.

Seeing this, a learned noble disciple grows disillusioned with form, feeling, perception, functioning patterns, and consciousness. Being disillusioned, desire fades away. When desire fades away they’re freed. When they’re freed, they know they’re freed.

They understand: ‘Rebirth is ended, the spiritual journey has been completed, what had to be done has been done, there is no return to any state of existence.’”
