[73] Sunakkhatta, this is indeed a possibility: that some individual person here may be intent upon the base of nothingness (ākiñcaññāyatana). For an individual person intent upon the base of nothingness, Sunakkhatta, only talk suitable to that finds a footing; he thinks and ponders in accordance with that, he associates with that kind of person, and he finds satisfaction in him. But when talk connected with the imperturbable (āneñja) is being spoken, he does not wish to listen, does not lend an ear, does not apply his mind to understanding; he does not associate with that kind of person, and he does not find satisfaction in him. Suppose, Sunakkhatta, a broad rock were split in two, so that it could not be joined together again; even so, Sunakkhatta, for an individual person intent upon the base of nothingness the fetter (saṃyojana) of the imperturbable has been broken. He should be known thus: 'This individual person, intent upon the base of nothingness, is detached from the fetter of the imperturbable.'
