[195] Bhikkhus, there is a further case. An untrue person (asappurisa), by completely surmounting the base of the infinity of consciousness (viññāṇañcāyatana), aware that "there is nothing at all," enters upon and dwells in the base of nothingness (ākiñcaññāyatana). He reflects thus: "I am a gainer of the attainment (samāpatti) of the base of nothingness, but these other bhikkhus are not gainers of the attainment of the base of nothingness." On account of that attainment of the base of nothingness he exalts himself and disparages others. This too, bhikkhus, is the character of an untrue person (asappurisadhamma).
But a true person (sappurisa), bhikkhus, reflects thus: "Non-identification (atammayatā) even with regard to the attainment of the base of nothingness has been declared by the Blessed One; for in whatever way they conceive it, the fact is ever otherwise than that." Making non-identification itself his inner concern, he neither exalts himself nor disparages others on account of that attainment of the base of nothingness. This too, bhikkhus, is the character of a true person (sappurisadhamma).
