[605] But here, Ānanda, some ascetic or brahmin — by dint of ardor, striving, application, diligence, and right attention — touches a concentration of mind (cetosamādhi) of such a kind that, when the mind (citta) is thus concentrated, with the divine eye (dibbacakkhu), purified and surpassing the human, he sees that individual: one who here killed living beings, took what was not given, … held wrong view — and he sees that, with the breaking up of the body, after death, he has arisen in a good destination, a heavenly world. He says thus: 'It seems, sir, that there are no evil deeds; there is no result of misconduct. For I saw that individual — one who here killed living beings, took what was not given, … held wrong view — and I see that, with the breaking up of the body, after death, he has arisen in a good destination, a heavenly world.' He says thus: 'It seems, sir, that everyone who kills living beings, takes what is not given, … holds wrong view is, with the breaking up of the body, after death, reborn in a good destination, a heavenly world. Those who know thus know rightly; those who know otherwise — their knowledge (ñāṇa) is wrong.' Thus, whatever he has himself known, himself seen, himself understood — to that alone he obstinately adheres therein, with force and misapprehension, and declares: 'This alone is true; anything else is vain.'
