[38] Bhikkhus, here again, some ascetic or brahmin — through the relinquishing (paṭinissagga) of views concerning the past (pubbantānudiṭṭhi) and the relinquishing of views concerning the future (aparantānudiṭṭhi), through not fixating in any way upon the fetters of sensuality (kāmasaññojana), and through the transcending of the rapture born of seclusion (pavivekā pīti) — enters and dwells in pleasure not of the flesh (nirāmisaṃ sukhaṃ), [thinking]: "This is peaceful, this is sublime, namely, that I enter and dwell in pleasure not of the flesh." That pleasure not of the flesh of his ceases. With the cessation of pleasure not of the flesh there arises the rapture born of seclusion; with the cessation of the rapture born of seclusion there arises pleasure not of the flesh. Just as, bhikkhus, what the shade leaves, the sunlight pervades, and what the sunlight leaves, the shade pervades — even so, bhikkhus, with the cessation of pleasure not of the flesh there arises the rapture born of seclusion; with the cessation of the rapture born of seclusion there arises pleasure not of the flesh.
This, bhikkhus, the Tathāgata understands: "This good ascetic or brahmin — through the relinquishing of views concerning the past and the relinquishing of views concerning the future, through not fixating in any way upon the fetters of sensuality, and through the transcending of the rapture born of seclusion — enters and dwells in pleasure not of the flesh, [thinking]: 'This is peaceful, this is sublime, namely, that I enter and dwell in pleasure not of the flesh.' That pleasure not of the flesh of his ceases. With the cessation of pleasure not of the flesh there arises the rapture born of seclusion; with the cessation of the rapture born of seclusion there arises pleasure not of the flesh." Having understood thus: "This is conditioned (saṅkhata) and gross; but there is the cessation of conditioned things (saṅkhārā) — that exists," and seeing the escape from it, the Tathāgata has gone beyond it.
