[72] Now, Sunakkhatta, it is possible that some individual person here may be intent on the imperturbable (āneñja). For an individual person intent on the imperturbable, only talk suited to that finds a footing; he thinks and ponders in accordance with that, associates with that kind of person, and finds satisfaction therein. But when talk connected with worldly material things (lokāmisa) is being spoken, he does not wish to listen, does not lend an ear, does not apply his mind (citta) to understanding; he does not associate with that kind of person, nor does he find satisfaction therein. Just as, Sunakkhatta, a yellowed leaf released from its stalk is incapable of becoming green again, even so, Sunakkhatta, for an individual person intent on the imperturbable, the fetter (saṃyojana) of worldly material things has dropped away. He should be known thus: 'This individual person, being detached from the fetter of worldly material things, is one intent on the imperturbable.'
