[83] Furthermore, bhikkhus, a noble disciple reflects thus: 'Sensual pleasures in this life and sensual pleasures in lives to come, sensual perceptions in this life and sensual perceptions in lives to come — and whatever form there is, all form is the four great elements (mahābhūta) and form derived from the four great elements.' As he practices in this way and dwells much upon it, his mind (citta) becomes confident in this base (āyatana). When there is such confidence, he either attains the imperturbable here and now, or he is resolved upon it through wisdom. With the breakup of the body, after death, it is possible that the consciousness conducing thereto will pass on to the imperturbable. This, bhikkhus, is declared to be the second way of practice conducive to the imperturbable.
