[689] Then further there remains only consciousness (viññāṇa), purified and bright. With that consciousness one knows something: one cognizes 'pleasant,' one cognizes 'painful,' one cognizes 'neither-painful-nor-pleasant.'
Bhikkhu, dependent on a contact (phassa) to be felt as pleasant, a pleasant feeling (vedanā) arises. Feeling a pleasant feeling, one understands: 'I am feeling a pleasant feeling.' One understands: 'With the cessation of that very contact to be felt as pleasant, the corresponding felt experience — the pleasant feeling that arose dependent on the contact to be felt as pleasant — ceases; it is stilled.'
Bhikkhu, dependent on a contact to be felt as painful, a painful feeling arises. Feeling a painful feeling, one understands: 'I am feeling a painful feeling.' One understands: 'With the cessation of that very contact to be felt as painful, the corresponding felt experience — the painful feeling that arose dependent on the contact to be felt as painful — ceases; it is stilled.'
Bhikkhu, dependent on a contact to be felt as neither-painful-nor-pleasant, a neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling arises. Feeling a neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling, one understands: 'I am feeling a neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling.' One understands: 'With the cessation of that very contact to be felt as neither-painful-nor-pleasant, the corresponding felt experience — the neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling that arose dependent on the contact to be felt as neither-painful-nor-pleasant — ceases; it is stilled.'
