[525] "Bhikkhus, as to the way of undertaking dhammas (dhammasamādāna) that is both painful in the present and ripens as suffering (dukkha) in the future: one who has understood it, having arrived at true knowledge (vijjā), knows as it really is (yathābhūta): 'This way of undertaking dhammas is both painful in the present and ripens as suffering in the future.' Having understood it, having arrived at true knowledge, knowing it as it really is, he does not cultivate it; he avoids it. When he does not cultivate it and avoids it, unwished-for, undesirable, disagreeable states diminish, and wished-for, desirable, agreeable states increase. For what reason? Because, bhikkhus, this is how it is for one who knows.
