Not agitated, he personally attains final Nibbāna. He understands: 'Birth is destroyed, the holy life has been lived, what was to be done has been done, there is no more for this state of being.' The Seventh. 8. The Second Sutta on Agitation 91. Agitation, bhikkhus, is a disease. Agitation is a boil. Agitation is a dart. Therefore, bhikkhus, the Tathāgata dwells without agitation, with the dart removed. Therefore, bhikkhus, if a bhikkhu should wish: 'May I dwell without agitation, with the dart removed,' eye one should not conceive. In eye one should not conceive. From eye one should not conceive. "Eye is mine," one should not conceive. Forms one should not conceive. In forms one should not conceive. From forms one should not conceive. "Forms are mine," one should not conceive. Eye-consciousness one should not conceive. In eye-consciousness one should not conceive. From eye-consciousness one should not conceive. "Eye-consciousness is mine," one should not conceive. Eye-contact one should not conceive. In eye-contact one should not conceive. From eye-contact one should not conceive. "Eye-contact is mine," one should not conceive. And whatever arises dependent on eye-contact... a feeling, whether pleasant or painful or neither-painful-nor-pleasant, one should not conceive that, one should not conceive in that, one should not conceive from that, one should not conceive 'that is mine'. For whatever, bhikkhus, one conceives, in whatever one conceives, from whatever one conceives, whatever one conceives as 'mine', from that, it becomes otherwise. Being otherwise, the world, attached to becoming, delights in becoming itself... One should not conceive the tongue, one should not conceive in the tongue, one should not conceive from the tongue, one should not conceive 'the tongue is mine'; one should not conceive taste... tongue-consciousness... tongue-contact... whatever feeling arises dependent on tongue-contact, whether pleasant or painful or neither-painful-nor-pleasant, one should not conceive that, one should not conceive in that, one should not conceive from that, one should not conceive 'that is mine'. For whatever, bhikkhus, one conceives, in whatever one conceives, from whatever one conceives, whatever one conceives as 'mine', from that, it becomes otherwise. Being otherwise, the world, attached to becoming, delights in becoming itself... One should not conceive the mind, one should not conceive in the mind, one should not conceive from the mind, one should not conceive 'the mind is mine'... mind-consciousness... mind-contact... whatever feeling arises dependent on mind-contact, whether pleasant or painful or neither-painful-nor-pleasant, one should not conceive that, one should not conceive in that, one should not conceive from that, one should not conceive 'that is mine'. For whatever, bhikkhus, one conceives, in whatever one conceives, from whatever one conceives, whatever one conceives as 'mine', from that, it becomes otherwise. Being otherwise, the world, attached to becoming, delights in becoming itself. Whatever aggregates, elements, and sense bases there are, bhikkhus, one should not conceive that, one should not conceive in that, one should not conceive from that, one should not conceive 'that is mine'. Not conceiving thus, one does not cling to anything in the world. Not clinging, one is not agitated. Not agitated, one is personally completely unbound. 'Birth is destroyed, the holy life has been lived, what was to be done has been done, there is no further state of being for this' — one understands. Eighth. 9. The First Discourse on the Dyad 92. "I will teach you, bhikkhus, the dyad. Listen to it..." Venerable Sirs. And what, monks, is the pair? The eye and forms, the ear and sounds, the nose and odors, the tongue and tastes, the body and tangibles, the mind and mental phenomena— this is called, monks, the pair. Whoever, monks, should say thus: ‘Having rejected this pair,
