"Is it true, Venerable Sir, that the unstable is overturned, not the stable? Is the unstable broken, not the stable? Is the fool (ignorant soul) eternal, but foolishness non-eternal? Is the wise (restrained soul) eternal, but wisdom non-eternal?"
"Yes, Gautama, the unstable is overturned, not the stable. The unstable is broken, not the stable. The fool is eternal, but foolishness is non-eternal. The wise is eternal, but wisdom is non-eternal."
"Truly so, Venerable Sir! Truly so, Venerable Sir!"… and so [Gautama] continues to dwell.
