Suttapiṭaka · Majjhimanikāya · Vol. 12 · Section 8

[8] Bhikkhus, the Tathāgata too, the Arahant, the Fully Awakened One, directly knows earth as earth. Having directly known earth as earth, he does not conceive earth, does not conceive in earth, does not conceive from earth, does not conceive "earth is mine"; he does not delight in earth. For what reason? Because it has been fully understood by the Tathāgata, I say. … He directly knows water … fire … air … beings … gods … Pajāpati … Brahmā … the gods of streaming radiance … the gods of refulgent glory … the gods of abundant fruit … the Vanquisher (abhibhū) … the base of infinite space (ākāsānañcāyatana) … the base of infinite consciousness … the base of nothingness … the base of neither-perception-nor-non-perception … the seen … the heard … the sensed … the cognized … oneness … diversity … the all … He directly knows Nibbāna as Nibbāna. Having directly known Nibbāna as Nibbāna, he does not conceive Nibbāna, does not conceive in Nibbāna, does not conceive from Nibbāna, does not conceive "Nibbāna is mine"; he does not delight in Nibbāna. For what reason? Because it has been fully understood by the Tathāgata, I say. The seventh section on the ground, by way of the Teacher.
