🌺ASTOUNDING............

🌺ASTOUNDING
it is astounding and amazing,

the one who knows and sees,

the Arahant the Perfectly Enlightened One has discovered
the achievement of an opening in the midst of confinement,
inside the deathly prison,

of a desire world;
an opening,

to the undying; unbinding,
via a constant watchfulness,
for the achievement of a method for realization of nibbana
At Anjana grove,

disciple,

Jatilagahiya,
approaches Ananda,

stands to one side,

and she says to him;
"Concentration that does not lean
forward and does not bend back,

and that is not reined in,

and checked by forcefully suppressing (the defilements) through purification it is steady,

it is content,
by being content,

it is not agitated.

What did the Blessed One say this concentration has as its fruit?"
Soothingly Ananda affirms,
confirming
"The Blessed One has said,

this concentration has final knowledge as its fruit,

when one is thus percipient,
the self of conventional reference moves out,

sense bases withdraw;

sights,

sounds,

scents,

tastes,

tactility are very much present."
thus in the scent of release submerged because of liberation,

this individual is steady.........🌿
