3.22.1

Tamañño evamāha:

But someone else says to them:

The Divine Net

3.22.2

‘atthi kho, bho, eso attā, yaṃ tvaṃ vadesi, neso natthīti vadāmi;

‘That self of which you speak does exist, I don’t deny it.

The Divine Net

3.22.3

no ca kho, bho, ayaṃ attā ettāvatā paramadiṭṭhadhammanibbānaṃ patto hoti.

But that’s not how this self attains ultimate extinguishment in this life.

The Divine Net

3.22.4

Taṃ kissa hetu?

Why is that?

The Divine Net

3.22.5

Yadeva tattha vitakkitaṃ vicāritaṃ, etenetaṃ oḷārikaṃ akkhāyati.

Because the placing of the mind and the keeping it connected there are coarse.

The Divine Net

3.22.6

Yato kho, bho, ayaṃ attā vitakkavicārānaṃ vūpasamā ajjhattaṃ sampasādanaṃ cetaso ekodibhāvaṃ avitakkaṃ avicāraṃ samādhijaṃ pītisukhaṃ dutiyaṃ jhānaṃ upasampajja viharati, ettāvatā kho, bho, ayaṃ attā paramadiṭṭhadhammanibbānaṃ patto hotī’ti.

But when the placing of the mind and keeping it connected are stilled, this self enters and remains in the second absorption, which has the rapture and bliss born of immersion, with internal clarity and mind at one, without placing the mind and keeping it connected. That’s how this self attains ultimate extinguishment in this life.’

The Divine Net

3.22.7

Ittheke sato sattassa paramadiṭṭhadhammanibbānaṃ paññapenti.

That is how some assert ultimate extinguishment for an existing being in this life.
