[74] "Sunakkhatta, it is indeed possible that some individual person here may be intent upon the dimension of neither-perception-nor-non-perception (nevasaññānāsaññāyatana). For an individual, Sunakkhatta, who is intent upon the dimension of neither-perception-nor-non-perception, only talk suited to that finds a footing with him; he thinks and ponders in accordance with that; he associates with that sort of person and finds satisfaction with him. But when talk connected with the dimension of nothingness (ākiñcaññāyatana) 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 sort of person, nor does he find satisfaction with him. Suppose, Sunakkhatta, a man who had eaten agreeable food were to vomit it up. What do you think, Sunakkhatta — would that man have any desire, Sunakkhatta, for that food?"
"Certainly not, venerable sir. Why is that? Because, venerable sir, that food is regarded as repulsive."
"Even so, Sunakkhatta, for the individual person intent upon the dimension of neither-perception-nor-non-perception, whatever fetter (saññojana) of the dimension of nothingness there is — that has been vomited up. He should be known thus: 'This individual person, intent upon the dimension of neither-perception-nor-non-perception, is indeed detached from the fetter of the dimension of nothingness.'"
