[26] When his mind (citta) is thus concentrated (samādhi), purified, bright, unblemished, rid of defilements, become malleable, wieldy, steady, and attained to imperturbability, he directs the mind to the knowledge (ñāṇa) of the destruction of the taints (āsava). He understands as it really is (yathābhūta): 'This is suffering (dukkha).' He understands as it really is: 'This is the origin of suffering.' He understands as it really is: 'This is the cessation of suffering.' He understands as it really is: 'This is the way of practice leading to the cessation of suffering.' He understands as it really is: 'These are the taints.' He understands as it really is: 'This is the origin of the taints.' He understands as it really is: 'This is the cessation of the taints.' He understands as it really is: 'This is the way of practice leading to the cessation of the taints.' When he knows thus and sees thus, his mind is liberated from the taint of sensuality, his mind is liberated from the taint of existence, his mind is liberated from the taint of ignorance. When it is liberated, there comes the knowledge: 'It is liberated.' He understands: 'Birth (jāti) is destroyed, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, there is no further return to this state of being.' Thus indeed, bhikkhus, exertion is fruitful, striving is fruitful.
